Transcript of Future Adaptability of Building Design
Future Adaptability of Building Design
Taariq MauthoorLondon March ‘10Sustainable Design Lab
Overview
1.0 Adaptability and Design
2.0 How to Make Buildings Adaptable
3.0 Pointers for the Future
Why do we Need Buildings to be Adaptable and
How do we Provide the Right Solutions for Now and the
Future
Right Solutions Should be Appropriate for Todayand More Importantly...for Tomorrow!!!
When built...
...they are here to stay !!!

Buildings
What is Adaptability ? The Ability to Adapt to
Changes and Conditions in an
Efficient and Effective Manner
Adaptability in Action

Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery Should be Investigated Further
Bio-Mimicry
“Those who are inspired by a model other than Nature, a mistress above all masters, are labouring in vain.”
Leonardo Da Vinci
Bio-MimicryBio-Mimicry is a Design Philosophy Inspired by Nature to Produce Sustainable Design Solutions.
