In the first third of the 20th century, interest in kinetic architect was one of the stands of thought emerging from the Futurism movement. Various papers and books included plans and drawings for moving buildings, a notable example being Chernikhov's 101 Architectural Fantasies (1933).
Performative architecture is an architecture using digital technologies to challenge the way the built environment is designed. People move – Architecture stops. People desire – space defines. The designer as a spatial programmer collects movements and desires and releases them into the conception of building. (Anderson, 2011) 4

In the book Structuralism in Architecture and Urban Planning [8] this design principle is published under the following titles: 1. Structures formed of building units; 2. Structures formed of building ...
He also theorised that bionic architecture would solve many problems associated with design and construction because it would allow for the ‘perfect protection’ through mimicking the same survival mechanisms used by organisms. [1] By the late 1980s, architectural bionics finally emerged as a new branch of architectural science and practice ...
