    Adaptable Architecture : architecture that changes through time
    (North Dakota State University, 2011) Hughes, Kathryn
    Just as living things grow and adapt, so should the things we create. In this juxtaposition lays the ability to propel our creations into a cyclical lifestyle of rebirth through functionality. Spatial experiences are received directly as an extension of one’s body, as a dynamic recipient from a static host. In this perspective, it is possible for a dynamic relationship between an individual & their built environment to exist. A building should be able to grow and adjust as we do, creating the opportunity for regeneration & recycling of function & materiality. In this environment, the cyclical rebirth of the building becomes a driving force keeping technological innovation & sociological understanding participating & impacting the local community on a daily basis.
