Adaptive Kinetic Patterns

Adaptive Kinetic Patterns

This thesis by Jamil Majed Jamil Alkhayyat, aims to create a framework that provides strategy for designing adaptive kinetic patterns within the digital modelling phase that implemented by parametric and generative design tools, for making changes in the spatial quality response of the building, in order to enhance environmental performance through daylighting passive design.
