Adaptabilność obiektów architektonicznych we współczesnym projektowaniu / The adaptability of architectural objects in contemporary design

Abstract

The article discusses the issue of adaptability - the ability to modify modern architectural objects to a changing context - as an important element of contemporary design. Adaptability can take on different forms. It is most commonly understood as a change in the architectural form in reaction to various stimuli from the environment through transformative structures, or as an object's ability to adapt to climatic conditions, providing users with the ability to directly control the building to reduce energy consumption and enhance comfort of use. It is equally important to understand this concept in terms of inclusive architecture, ensuring accessibility for everyone, taking into account the diverse and changing needs of the users over the years. Also, buildings that are subject to changes in their use to extend their lifespan, to improve the users’ comfort according to their changing needs (universal design), or to revitalize their location can be counted as objects where adaptability plays an important role. The personalization of the object to the expectations of the user, that is - spatial and technological adaptation to individual needs – is becoming more and more important. Reflections on the adaptability of architectural objects that can be found in the contemporary literature are often fragmentary, lack context, and present this complex issue from a single point of view. This text is intended to provide insight into the issue at its various levels and to take into account its whole complexity - a broader perspective, which marks the way forward for further investigation and future discussion of this important issue.
