Break through the walls of architecture: Structures for maximum flexibility, variability & multifunctionality. Break through the walls of aspirations to longevity in architecture: How we construct buildings in the 21st century is not that much different from how they were constructed in ancient Rome two millennia ago: buildings with rigid structures can only be altered with the expenditure of considerable construction effort. However, we live in a world that has changed dramatically since then and is now dynamically shaped by social and economic demands. We need concepts to support a just-in-time architecture!
