Summary/Abstract: In this study, the authors examine all aspects of moving surfaces in buildings, such as formation, colour, size, texture, and lighting. We also investigate the actual movement patterns in architecture (rigid elements, deformable elements, soft and flexible elements, elastic elements, pneumatic forms), the definition of movement and dynamic architecture, and the types of movement directions in dynamic buildings (static movement, dynamic movement). Additionally, we analyse the factors affecting the cost of dynamic buildings during the design phase, including the selection of the type of movement for the space, interactive movement systems, and movement patterns. Furthermore, we examine the cost impact of the design phase through questionnaire analysis, assessing the influence of selecting the type of movement for the space, interactive movement systems, and movement patterns on cost. The results indicate that the selection of all types of movement within a space is one of the most significant factors affecting cost, highlighting the importance of choosing interactive movement systems due to their impact on overall expenses.
