|1| Flexible: Architecture that Responds to Change |

As I begin thinking about the idea of | Flexible, Mobile, Distributed & Virtual | a book which I think will be useful for ideas and understanding is Flexible Architecture that Responds to Change by Robert Kronenburg. I have taken a blurb which in essence creates a picture about what this modern form of architectural design can be; 


"Flexible architecture adapts to new uses, responds to change rather than stagnating, and is motive rather than static. Understanding how it has been conceived, designed, made, and used helps us understand its potential in solving current and future problems associated with technological, social, and economic change. This book explores the whole genre of flexible architecture buildings that are intended to respond to evolving situations in their form, operation, or location. Crossing the boundaries between architecture, interior design, product design, and furniture design, this innovative book is the first to deal with the entire scope of the topic."


I think that this book as I begin to read through the first few chapters will be a great starting point to branch my thinking throughout the semester.
