PERFORMATIVE ARCHITECTURE
META ARCHITECTURE
THE META-ARCHITECTURE COLLECTS TOGETHER DECISIONS RELATING TO OUR ARCHITECTURE STRATEGY. IT SETS
DIRECTION FOR YOUR ARCHITECTURE EFFORT, WITH HIGH-LEVEL DECISIONS THAT WILL SHAPE THE ARCHITECTURE
AND GUIDE THE ARCHITECTS. THESE INCLUDE ARCHITECTURE PRINCIPLES, STATEMENTS OF PHILOSOPHY,
METAPHORS AND ORGANIZING CONCEPTS THAT WILL GUIDE SYSTEM DECOMPOSITION AND DESIGN OF
MECHANISMS.
AQUA DUCTS
AN AQUEDUCT IS A WATER SUPPLY OR NAVIGABLE
CHANNEL CONSTRUCTED TO CONVEY WATER. IN
MODERN ENGINEERING, THE TERM IS USED FOR ANY
SYSTEM OF PIPES, DITCHES, CANALS, TUNNELS, AND
OTHER STRUCTURES USED FOR THIS PURPOSE.
STEP WELL
• STEPWELLS ARE WELLS OR PONDS IN WHICH THE
• A WINDTOWER (WIND CATCHER) IS A TRADITIONAL
WATER IS REACHED BY DESCENDING A SET OF
STEPS. THEY MAY BE MULTI-STORIED WITH A
BULLOCK TURNING A WATER WHEEL TO RAISE THE
WELL WATER TO THE FIRST OR SECOND FLOOR. THEY
ARE MOST COMMON IN WESTERN INDIA AND ARE
ALSO FOUND IN THE OTHER MORE ARID REGIONS OF
THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT, THOUGH THEY MAY
INCLUDE EMBELLISHMENTS OF ARCHITECTURAL
SIGNIFICANCE, AND BE TEMPLE TANKS.

SOLAR CHIMNEY
• A SOLAR CHIMNEY – OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THERMAL
CHIMNEY – IS A WAY OF IMPROVING THE NATURAL
VENTILATION OF BUILDINGS BY USING CONVECTION OF
AIR HEATED BY PASSIVE SOLAR ENERGY.
WIND TOWER
PERSIAN ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENT TO CREATE NATURAL BUILDINGS ARE DESIGNED TO ALLOW PARTS OF THE STRUCTURE THE BUILDING, AFFECTS THE ARRANGEMENT OF FAÇADE: ITS
VENTILATION IN BUILDINGS. WINDCATCHERS COME
VARIOUS DESIGNS: UNI-DIRECTIONAL, BI-DIRECTIONAL, BUILDING'S CAPABILITY FOR MOTION CAN BE USED JUST TO:
AND MULTI-DIRECTIONAL. THE DEVICES WERE USED IN
ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ARCHITECTURE.
• MOST BUILDINGS ARE CONSTRUCTED OF VERY THICK
CERAMICS WITH EXTREMELY HIGH INSULATION VALUES.
THE HEAT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT IS MINIMIZED WITH
SMALL WINDOWS THAT DO NOT FACE THE SUN.
• THE EXTRA WALL IN PROVIDED AT THE
OPENING WHICH BLOCKS THE DIRECT
SUN RAYS ENTERING THE BUILDING
FROM SOUTH AND WEST SIDE OF THE
STRUCTURE WITH OUT BLOCKING THE
WIND/WIND PATH.
• STEPS OF THE WELL ACTS AS A
RECREATING PLACE AND THE
EVAPORATING WATER FROM THE STEP
WELL IS CARRIED ALONG THE WIND
AND TAKEN INTO THE STRUCTURE
THROUGH OPENINGS ,WHICH
POSSIBLE WHEN THE STEP WELL IS
PROVIDED IN THE DIRECTION OF WIND
PATH BEFORE/ALONG THE BUILDING

WHAT IS PERFORMATIVE ARCHITECTURE? R
Performative Architecture is architecture using digital technologies to challenge the way the built environment is designed.The
designer as spatial programmer collects movements and desires and releases them into the conception of building. Buildings
are often viewed as objects that: • Result from design and construction techniques • Represent various practices and ideas.
C
The buildings characteristics are a reflection between the materials and to how they create the flexibility to the performance,
instead of being a building that creates no movement visually or through. H
Architecture can be given performative capacity through the movement of people around and through a building. The experience
of structures spatial presence and materiality along with the engagement of the eye and the body which makes architecture
performative.

1. RESPONSIVE FAÇADE:
ABSTRACT- RESPONSIVENESS IS A DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTIC “THE WAY THE DYNAMIC FACADE WORKS IS THROUGH ELECTRONIC
THAT CAN OFFER A GREAT OPPORTUNITY WHEN USED IN BUILDING CONTROLS WITHIN THE BUILDING THAT CAN INDIVIDUALLY
E
CONTROL EACH OF THE 54 MOTORS WITHIN THE FACADE. IT IS A
FACADES WHILE ADDING RESPONSIVE UNITS THAT ALLOW OR
PREVENT THE DAYLIGHT INTO THE SPACES OFFERING A CHANCE SIMPLE TECHNOLOGY WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY TYPE OF
RESPONSIVE SYSTEM AND RESPONDS ONLY TO THE USE INPUT
C
TO REGULATE SUN LIGHT TO MINIMIZE ELECTRIC LIGHT
DEPENDENCY AND BENEFITING FROM NATURAL RESOURCES ... FROM THE BUILDING OCCUPANTS.”

KINETIC ARCHITECTURE IS A CONCEPT THROUGH WHICH EXOSKELETON, AS A VISIBLE PRIMARY STRUCTURAL ELEMENT OF
TO MOVE, WITHOUT REDUCING OVERALL STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY.A DENSITY, SCALE, AND AND CONFIGURATION. DESIGN OF

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS; AND/OR, PERFORM FUNCTIONS

SOLAR RESPONSIVE DYNAMIC FACADE
VII
WIND RESPONSIVE DYNAMIC FACADE
IS
WIND AS A NATURAL ELEMENT ITSELF IS STRONG ENOUGH TO PROVIDE A
DYNAMIC PATTERN OF MOTION WITHOUT WASTING ANY ENERGY. BRISBANE
DOMESTIC TERMINAL CARPARK IN AUSTRALIA HAS INSTALLED 250,000
ALUMINUM PLATES TO CREATE THIS WIND-POWERED FAÇADE.
The way the dynamic facade works is
through electronic controls within the
building that can individually control each
of the 54 motors within the facade. It is a
simple technology which does not include
any type of responsive system and
WIND FAN ,FACADE
responds only to the use input from the
building occupants. The facade itself is
functioning as a shading device but given
the users to control the angle of the
panel, and amount of light transmitted
into the interior space.
