Adaptable architecture responds to global challenges such as climate change, depleting resources and biodiversity. We argue here that Rhythmic Buildings incorporate many aspects of adaptation through an integrated approach. buildings react the various parameters sustainability context. This conceptual paper develops a framework for adaptable includes context based on three pillars incorporates ...
