ABSTRACT
Adaptive architecture aims to influence and guide, not just inform occupant perception. As such, there are certain personalization methods that can help adaptive sensory environments to accomplish this task. Ubiquitous computing is important to architectural design because it ties into the operations of everyday life. To help architecture gather information, architects can pull data collected from wearable computing technologies. Adaptive architecture not only pulls information from such worn devices, but also pushes its adaptive response through the body-worn devices as well. Just as wearable devices can help adaptive architecture to enhance occupant experience because of their close proximity to the human body, other channels become important because of the benefits that they provide. Augmented reality is advancing. And this means that designers are obtaining additional methods by which architecture can interact with occupants. Adaptive architecture can change and morph in real time to complement what goes on at more local levels for occupants.
