Technology #1 - Transegrity & OFRAMBFRA

Whilst I bang my head against the wall developing sacrificial schemes, here's a technical precedent for responsive design.... Image from Tristan Sterk Using Actuated Transegrity Structures to Produce a Responsive Architecture ACADIA Paper

Its good to be critical. Basically OFRAMBFRA is a cool precedent as they cover both the architectural/theoretical and technical sides to responsive design. They are here as an interesting structural/technological precedent to foster ideas on how a building envelope could be intelligent. Topotransegrity is a similar relevant precendent for this too.
