Translated Geometries is a research project by students at the IAAC school that explores the idea of responsive architecture.
Many have heard of responsive design when it comes to website development, whereby a site adjusts its size according to the medium being used. This idea is then translated to architecture for the project, experimenting with heat and light to ensure that a building can withstand multiple environments. Taking this concept from one industry to another demonstrates how looking outside of one's own sector can result in forward-thinking products that can completely change how competitors are thinking about things too. While this project is still in the research phase, hopefully more developments will be made to forward the idea of responsive architecture.

Trend Themes
1. Responsive Architecture - The trend of developing buildings that can adjust and respond to different environmental conditions, such as heat and light.
2. Cross-industry Innovation - The trend of applying concepts and ideas from one industry to another, such as translating responsive design principles from website development to architecture.
3. Forward-thinking Products - The trend of creating innovative and progressive products that challenge traditional thinking and disrupt industries.
Industry Implications
1. Website Development - The industry that can leverage responsive design principles in architecture to explore new possibilities and improve user experience.
2. Construction and Architecture - The industry that can adopt and develop responsive architecture to create sustainable and adaptable buildings for various environments.
3. Research and Development - The industry that can further the development of responsive architecture through continuous experimentation and technological advancements.
