Abstract
Adaptive skins and structures constitute an approach for reducing the immense material consumption in the construction of buildings, their energy demand and related emissions. Through the integration of sensor-actuator systems, conventional structures and skins become a controllable dynamic system, capable of reacting to different external influences. This approach demands an integral planning and design process with participants from various disciplines. The Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1244 entitled Adaptive Skins and Structures for the Built Environment of Tomorrow, involves, the research of specific processes and methods for the design and planning of adaptive buildings. In this paper, conventional approaches in architectural design and planning are analysed, providing the basis for the development of an improved process for adaptive buildings.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
