“SMART FLEXIBILITY: Advanced Materials and Technologies” Guideline for an exhibition at DISSENY HUB BARCELONA 25/06/14 - 20/12/14 The exhibition “Smart Flexibility: Advanced Materials and Technologies” pretends to explore the current capabilities provided by determined structures and materials to sensitize and adapt architecture to its environment. From this perspective the exhibition would be situated on the borderline between matter and structure, investigating the flexibility and intrinsic reactivity of some specific materials and advanced technologies. These contemporary works and projects involving materials, sensitive systems and articulated supports enable us to imagine the functionalities an intelligent and flexible architecture may provide. Wind and solar power harvesting, electrical and thermal energy generation, perception and adaptation to climatic conditions, to acoustics and lighting environment, user detection and modification of space according to his body, his movements or even his emotions, are the challenges of tomorrow’s spaces and so are the guidelines of the exhibition.
