  Responsive architecture aimto refine and extend the discipline of architecture by improving the energy performance of buildings with responsive technologies (sensors / control systems / actuators) while also producing buildings that reflect the technological and cultural conditions of our time

  ARCHITECTURAL EVOLUTION… • Adaptationas a process has been conceived in various disciplines with similar approach and goals. • This definition offers a direct translation into architectural conceptualization. We can consider the building to be a system which adapts its behaviour to information acquired about its users. • Information external to the building (system) could also be integrated into the process, for example weather data, energy prices, demands of neighbouring buildings, etc. • Adaptive Architecture thus has the capability to respond to a number of parameters with time. • Time is an integral factor driving adaptation in architecture. Thus adaptive architecture can be said to be Responsive Architecture evolving with time.

  MOVEMENT CORRIDORS… A movement corridoris characterised by attributes which relate to its place in the hierarchy of its circulation and the function it performs as a low or high volume carrier of people or transport Over the highway wildlife crossing and sky bus metro: smart solutions

  VISUAL CORRIDORS Streets thatare visually enclosed avoid the impression of being a thorough fare, and provide a better setting for architecture housing development modelled on a cluster of floating icebergs in Denmark : view point of the city For the creation of pictorial and architectural effects…both symmetry and non symmetry are valid as a basis for achieving a sense of perfect visual equilibrium perfect to the solution

  BUS STOP… socially responsive transitspace Promotes common culture, no bar for any social class or gender, vernacular and modern touch, dhabas and kiosks as prominent bus stops in rural India Air conditioned bus stops in Dubai brings upon the notion of modern advances in technology but question of social responses being given a room still remains bleak

  ENTRY SPACES… Entry spacesuse signage as a tool to emphasize upon its category whereas some directly showcase their character due to their uniqueness in form of texture or any of those criteria’s that create a focal point of attraction With context to public realm they provide a direction to the mass. Whether it be monumental or small they give the same message of exclusivity

  ENTRY FACETS… Whether it’sa museum, a temple where spaces become holier after every entrance, a long entry into a fort or an entry of the mall at the corner lane…each has its own identity and meaning

  ENTRY FACETS… Interplay ofproportion and scale, light and shadow play a vital role in determining the nature of entry spaces. Functionality influences the entry spaces too in form of number and materials

  SEATING SPACES… . Thebenefit of people spending more time in public spaces is that spaces then become more self-regulating entities, and also focal points for the expression of a city’s particular identity and culture. Increasing the amount of quality seating increases the liveability of a public space. In places where positive approaches to seating are taken, people are more attracted to stay for longer periods Well positioned public seating allows opportunities to relax and observe the life taking place on the street and under-tree as an age old seating space

  PUBLIC SQUARES…interaction hub Intelligentideas can make squares more liveable and attractive, Planned public spaces can improve pedestrian and transit response, busy junction in Kathmandu. The space loosing its quality as a square Seating allows people to linger and enjoy the presence of others directly or indirectly, along with the sights, sounds and smells of a space. If seating is designed to cater for an assortment of needs, then older people, pregnant women, those who are tired, or who simply want to sit, eat or chat can all avail of it

  CONCLUSION… Entry and theseating spaces are a major driving force for any public realm whether at large or a small scale. The sensing of space in this context is only possible if the applied spaces fit to the context of the public desire Traditional otta in jodhpur, interior seating facing a transparent media and uniqueness of entry form becoming an identity facet
