Abstract
Although we anticipate in a Dynamic Universe filled with movement, the cast methodology
that has been given to Architecture is clearly static: buildings look the like all the time.
As an approach to Dynamic Architecture, the radiation pattern of a building with a changing
geometry is examined in an attempt to explore factors that affect the design of this type of
building. The proposed building is 200 m in height and follows the shape of a T, it has
a movable structure on its top that can prove 360 degrees. Because of the changing
geometry of the building due to the rotation of the upper part, two assumptions can be
made in the structural analysis: a. that the changing geometry drastically changes the
dynamic behavior of...If you want to get a sound essay, order it on our website: Orderessay
