Rhythmic Buildings- a framework for sustainable adaptable architecture

Adaptable architecture responds to global challenges such as climate change, depleting resources and biodiversity. We argue here that Rhythmic Buildings incorporate many aspects of adaptation through an integrated approach. buildings react the various parameters sustainability context. This conceptual paper develops a framework for adaptable includes context based on three pillars incorporates systems thinking. Building qualitative literature review research categorises themes by considering practice examples illustrates drivers motivate architecture. present timeline adaptability strategies demonstrating how field has shifted focussed specific change. Our shows current practices mainly consider building components are responsive changing requirements user comfort energy reduction. manuscript proposes structured considers recommends strategy future design. The uses approach identify rhythms which guides concepts input output balanced Finally, we our vision this can be taken forward researcher practitioner alike.
