Abstract

Considering the increasing dynamism of our society, designers are challenged to apply design strategies that anticipate change and obsolescence. One of those strategies is 'transformability'. Trough compatibility and dismountability it results in dynamic buildings. However, the higher initial cost generally attributed to transformable building forms a major impediment for its implementation. Nonetheless, long-term advantages are expected and a more profound insight is thus necessary. As a first step towards that insight, this paper proposes three models. They take into account the dynamic nature of transformable buildings, time dependent parameters and data, and a life cycle approach on buildings, components and materials.
