Current developments in autonomous, biological, and evolutionary robotics will have a profound impact on the future of interactive and dynamic architectural space. Spaces and structures that adapt to the environment and human interaction require modules with three fundamental features: the ability to sense external input, integrate and process those inputs, and create movements and reactions. Modular geometries use small scale robotic prototypes to test the connections of these systems in the field. Miles Kemp's project, Meta-morphic Architecture, offers a new type of interactive environment made from millions of these modules, where entirely new types of real time states can be created within spatial environments. Similar to the groundbreaking evolutionary logic of the starfish robot, these modular systems can literally adapt to changing environments in real time.
In Interactive Architecture, written by Kemp and Michael Fox, a brave new world is introduced that facilitates participation with the individual and their environment. Spaces with the ability to reconfigure themselves will literally change our world by addressing our ever-evolving individual, social and environmental needs.
