A Dynamic Architecture is flexible and determined by its environment, adapting to needs of its users, to changing conditions of its physical surrounding and to informational input. An example of Dynamic Architecture is the design of a BMW IAA Pavilion for the Frankfurt International Automobile Fair 1997 with ABB Architekten Scheid Schmidt und Partner Frankfurt. The two conditions of a car are driving and parking. As the expression auto.mobile already implies self.movement is its real determination. Motorshows can only display the less interesting static condition. Referring to this problem the design study for a BMW Pavilion transfers movement into architecture. Since neither the cars nor the building were allowed to be mobile, the movement of the spectators is used to give the sensation of driving. In the BMW IAA Pavilion the dynamics generate form with the help of special effects software. With this strategy the architect is leaving behind the concept of architecture as the design of the outer shape of things. Form finds its way into being.

Il video presenta il progetto per il padiglione BMW IAA per il Salone Internazionale dell'automobile del 1997 quale esempio di Architettura Dinamica, utilizzata in risposta alla necessità di far percepire all'osservatore le caratteristiche di movimento delle automobili. Non essendo possibile far muovere le auto o gli edifici il movimento degli spettatori, unitamente ad appositi software, viene utilizzato per dare la sensazione della guida.
