ABSTRACT
Adaptive architecture must be able to synchronize its environmental stimuli for the good of its occupants, at different scales–for the individual, for group culture and for the larger institutional system. Benefits of collective behaviors can be great, but the challenges of negative collective behaviors can become quite an obstacle. It is important to create scalable methods by which to extract value from an adaptive sensory environment for the good of all those affected, both directly and indirectly. A part of why the ripple effect happens is because of the improved communication and real-time collaboration that emerge because of the networks inherent to the adaptive architectural system. This is the way collective behaviors bring scalable benefits throughout. To nurture teamwork and collaboration, an adaptive sensory environment can make real-time adjustments during both the progressive phases of a project goal, and in real time as team communication occurs.
