ABSTRACT
Through coordination, adaptive architectures can help not only one occupant to transform to reach their desired goals, but can also help entire cities to transform to meet their collective needs and goals as well. To achieve such an adaptive city, networked communication is key. A networked relationship can occur between adaptive architectures at the urban scale or even at a global scale. And as adaptive environments communicate with one another, they can improve in their ability to pass relevant and needed information back and forth to allow for a more wide-scale smart response from building to building. By pulling from the strengths of different adaptive architectural buildings, environments can work together, like a team, to help individuals or the collective to achieve desired goals. When creating the parameters that go into a rule-based system that makes adaptive architecture adjust and learn to help occupants, designers should keep realization at the core of their system's purpose.
