Sharifi Ha House Facade with Dynamic Volumes, archdaily_© Concept of Sharifi Ha House, archdaily_© Exterior Facade Time-lapse Photographs that depict the dynamicity of the volumes, archdaily_© 3. In summers, the house offers an open and perforated volume, that serves as the summer living room and in contrast to it, the closed volume operates for the winter living room. The ever-changing façade was the by-product of the traditional Iranian houses concept of winter living room and summer living room. The terrace was designed with foldable balustrades that tilt in either direction of the vertical axis as the pod’s rotate to bring in life the changeable façade. Designed by the firm-’Next Office’, the solution that they brought up was that it has hinged movable spaces spread across 3 stacked levels on a 7-floor high building that rotates up to 90 degrees. The site had a seemingly unavoidable land constraint as it contained the dimensions in length but not much in width, to counter that a lot of brainstorming had to be done.

Phalanstery Module, materials and applications _© Every surface of the space is utilized by the movement of the space ©Bureau Spectacular- Jimenez Lai 2.

The module rotates at a speed of one rotation per hour due to which a surface becomes parallel to the ground every 15 minutes.

It is a product of the hypothesis that in zero-gravity, the rotation of the module will enable the use of each surface. This is a cubic module hinged at the ends by circular rings. It is a living module intended to utilize every plane surface to accommodate even further functions which would overall reduce the living space required by an individual. It was designed by the architectural firm Bureau Spectacular. Continual building dynamics bestows a better scope of climate and context responsible solution. The quintessence of this genre of architecture is the change in building form in measures of time. Dynamic Architecture refers to the architecture that implies the use of dynamic elements.
