New technology may enable architects to create shape shifting buildings that can adapt to their surroundings.  Wired reports, “Architects are developing shape-shifting buildings that function like living systems, altering their shape in response to changing weather conditions or to the way people use them.  If successful, “Responsive structures” will monitor their internal and external environment and change form to suit any situation.”
