Movement matters - interactive architecture - a discussion of space experiences in the digital era
This master thesis explores new ideas on dynamic architectural surfaces and their possible applications for creating two-way forms of communication between people and spaces by means of interactive technologies, such as 3D printing and sensoring. The implications of both physical and mental human movement in architectural environments are considered and various examples are presented, which include art installations and specific architectural innovations.

The thesis considers its subject matter within the framework of actor-network theory, of which it provides a concise overview. At the beginning of research, several experiments for dynamic surface design are undertaken, based on the basic principles of origami folding, in order to attain surface material options that are both strong and flexible. Finally, a prototype of interactive architectural elements is realized by using 3D printing and interactive technology. The thesis concludes by emphasizing its main goal to work towards future possibilities for new technologies that will enable dynamic interactions between people and architecture and create a new model for space experience.
