Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of Kinetic Architecture focused on case studies, categorize them and to research the possible applications of Kinetic Architecture. The results are as follow: first, the background of Kinetic Architecture is from the art, machine, nature and ancient architectures. Second, characteristics of Kinetic Architecture are deployability, modularity, lightweight, simplexity and interchangeability of parts. Third, the types of Kinetic Architecture are dynamically self-erecting structures, kinetic components, incremental architecture, mobile and disposable architecture. Finally, today the application cases of Kinetic Architecture are divided into the spital and skin part. The spital part is a temporary space, the multi-purpose spaces, housing, commercial spaces, and the educational spaces. The skin part offers functional(controling environments), artistic images through variation of materials and structural objects in the elevation.
