The RAIC Vancouver Island South network presents Architectural Transformability: Designing Adaptive Environments
DESCRIPTION: In a world where technology, programming needs, and environmental considerations are evolving faster than ever, traditional static architecture increasingly struggles to keep pace. This session explores the concept of “transformability in design” — an approach that reimagines buildings as dynamic, adaptable ecosystems rather than fixed, rigid structures. Participants will examine the historical roots of static architecture, the challenges of permanence in construction, and the opportunities offered by adaptive interior systems. Through real-world examples and interactive discussion, attendees will gain practical insights into designing for flexibility, sustainability, and long-term relevance in the built environment.
