CHANGES TAKING PLACE IN THE KINETIC ARCHITECTURE OVER THE 20TH AND 21ST CENTURIES
PublicationKinematics has accompanied architecture from its beginning and is strongly associated with its evolution. Over the centuries, it has changed form and function. However, its rank grew at the beginning of the 20th century. Along with the widespread change of the design method in the early 90s of the twentieth century, its forms have become more complex. The study showed that with the development of design techniques, this time should be...
