Two key issues addressed are firstly, the revisiting of the architectural boundary as a thermodynamic zone and secondly, the identification of material behaviour in relation to energy stimuli. It is argued that the transient behaviour of materials can offer an instrumental reconsideration on how architecture establishes spatial articulation through boundaries and this is demonstrated through a design-led project.

thresholds of advanced materials, the aim of this paper is to
propose architectural interfaces that share similarities with
the structural and performative aspects of natural systems.
Through a two-fold approach, that of passive adaptation
and dynamic response the research is aiming at proposing
design methodologies based on material properties and
organization.
In doing so, it shifts from current and past examples of
mechanical approaches of adaptation, towards biological
paradigms of seamless material integration. More
specifically it looks at composite material systems with
variable elastic properties and with embedded sensing and
actuation.
The emphasis therefore is not placed on architectural
formalism, but on how synthetic environments can be
expressed through constant exchanges of energy, matter
and information.
the material studies explore the properties and effects of hybrid materials with embedded dynamic characteristics (shape changing , colour changing, etc)
The aim of the proposed action is to highlight these different approaches (modern –non standard) as a continuity that initiates a change in the way of thinking, in the means of design, in the relations of figure and ground and in the perception of subject. In order to make this shift from the modern in the non -standard architecture more perceptible, the Villa Savoye of Le Corbusier; a building-emblem of Modernism, is taken as a historical precedent.
Starting point, and also source of inspiration, for the beginning of this flight in the creation of the new residence is the ramp and the spiral, which constitute the two basic structural elements of the villa.
