Contemporary architectural discourse is increasingly becoming self-aware of fluidity, transparency, lightness and of an organic approach in architectural design.

This partially derived from computation application and CAD software capabilities to manipulate great number of geometrical entities and parameters. Thus, the combination of human design on one hand and calculation speed and automation on the other, benefits the generation and interconnection of architectural entities such as form, construction, materiality, functionality simultaneously. Architecture has always followed a certain type of philosophy, contextual setting or even scientific methodologies in order to reinvent itself through the new ideology. Amongst them, biological methodology and principles have had a major impact used as architectural design tools. Consequently, the end result tends to mimic the natural flow and symbiosis, seen between animals and their respective environment and apply in on the interrelation between the building and its surrounding. By utilizing vast computational resources, it is possible to predict the behavior of the structures and thus design accordingly to overcome all the possible obstacles on the road to sustainability. However, the finished structures are inert an exhibit no dynamical input, interactive or responsive relation in the real world whatsoever. This comes as opposed to an iterative process of form and construction optimization and simulation in the virtual world. If the computational level is everincreasing, alongside automation and advancements in kinetics and bionics, then it is fair to assume that the processes have to converge to one another. Therefore, given the advancements in technology and information flow, the architectural discourse should focus on real time and real life interaction between the surrounding, humans and architecture as an iterative action and reaction loop. Furthermore, the form, as well as the construction, should adapt to the incoming input feed, generated by the surrounding, humans, or mainly any influence, and repeat the adaptation process until the predetermined criteria is met. . This can be considered as an answer to the question Cedric Price posed in 1960s What if a building or space could be constantly generated and regenerated?
