Abstract
Contemporary Architecture experiences new ways of space envelopment that satisfy the influences of past utopias from more than one point of view: aesthetic, energy-wise and structure wise. All these experiments present in the interior-exterior interface should answer one simple question: Can we consider Contemporary ways of space envelopment intelligent skins?In this study, intelligent building features are focused on the fa ade. The intelligent skin sometimes becomes part of the building and adjusts the fastest to the changes that happen. Physical pressure on the fa ade created by the development of adaptive Architecture leads to its transformation. The most visible changes in the facade are present in the interior-exterior interface characteristics.The facade should be the most adaptive part of the building that has to change according to the needs of an Intelligent Building. The external limit for the interior space should protect and breathe within a continuous communication process with the exterior.The main case study for architects could be efficient spatial configuration in order to reach the final purpose of creating the intelligent building.Historical references will gradually conduct the research towards creating a methodology that follows evolution from micro to macro structure and then from inert to adaptable features of buildings.
