Transformable design is a methodology to create objects that controllably change their physical properties. For several decades Chuck Hoberman has been creating large-scale transformable structures and transformable consumer products. He is now applying his unique methodology to developing dynamic facades for a new generation of adaptive buildings.

His presentation will introduce mechanized surfaces capable of changing form or controlling their permeability/opacity. He will demonstrate how these adaptive surfaces are now being integrated with actual building facades, and will also speak about the real-time control of these facades in response to environmental changes.
