What is adaptive architecture?

Adaptive architecture is an approach to designing and building structures that can respond and adapt to changing conditions over time. This can include changes in climate, technology, or use as well as social and economic factors. The goal of adaptive architecture is to create buildings or spaces that are resilient, sustainable, and future-proofed while also meeting the needs of their users. It often involves the integration of smart technologies and flexible design solutions that can be easily modified, expanded, or repurposed as needed.
