In The Architecture of the Well-Tempered Environment, Reyner Banham discusses the architect's obsession with creating self-contained environments that are defined by the enclosure that definitively separates the inside from the outside. What would the shift from architecture as singular interior environments to architecture as dynamic environments that change in response to environmental conditions, mean for design? Can architecture be a working system that modifies, conditions, and controls the environment (heat, light, moisture, and color) to act as materials that shape the space?
