Abstract
The presence of dynamic façades in buildings is a phenomenon that has captured the imagination and attention of many, when projects with said elements are announced and implemented. In order to derive an idea of what this phenomenon entails in the present and the future, this study delves into what dynamism is, and how it is applied in architecture as an element of design. This is achieved via viewing various case examples of dynamic façades in architecture, and the earliest usage of dynamic character as part of façade elements. Due to the various functions of dynamic façades in their individual contexts concerning climatic conditions, mode of operation, intended functions, etc. an analysis of the operations and benefits offered by dynamic façade systems is undertaken on a comparative basis, with unprejudiced inferences based on salient parameters taken as common factors to ponder upon. Based on the inferences, this study will deliberate on the beneficial aspects of implementing dynamic façade systems in buildings, and on whether those benefits outweigh the drawbacks and challenges of the same, especially concerning the feasibility of this element on a globalized scale in the coming era.
