KINE[SIS]TEM '17 - From Nature to Architectural Matter

June 19th-20th 2017, Lisbon, Portugal
[http://kinesistem17.weebly.com/]


KINE[SIS]TEM '17 - From Nature to Architectural Matter will be held in Lisbon in 2017 with the theme From Nature to Architectural Matter.

Kine[SiS]tem – From Kinesis + System. Kinesis is a non-linear movement or activity of an organism in response to a stimulus. A system is a set of interacting and interdependent agents forming a complex whole, delineated by its spatial and temporal boundaries, influenced by its environment.

How can architectural systems moderate the external environment to enhance comfort conditions in a simple, sustainable and smart way? This is the starting question for the Kine[SiS]tem’17 – From Nature to Architectural Matter International Conference. For decades, architectural design was developed despite (and not with) the climate, based on mechanical heating and cooling. Today, the argument for net zero energy buildings needs very effective strategies to reduce energy requirements. The challenge ahead requires design processes that are built upon consolidated knowledge, make use of advanced technologies and are inspired by nature.
