Some simplistic yet well translated diagrams below showcase how easy it is to convey specific adaptions to form.
_Universal: what typifies a universally flexible building is its ease of adaptation per use. these buildings are often characterized by open floor plans and typology free design (case studies: s.r. crown hall, eames house).
_Adaptable: adaptable structures features repositionable partitions or are changeable per user/occupant (case studies: rietveld schroeder house, japanese housing).
_Responsive: responsive buildings can respond to a number of external stimuli, including, but not limited to, energy/environment, interaction, usage, or occupation (case studies: allianz arena, institut du monde arab).
