Co-adaptable environments: Ad-hoc technologies and the self-management of one's built environment
![[img]](https://eprints.qut.edu.au/secure/style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png)
Description
This thesis argues that we can establish better relationships with our buildings by introducing more means to control and customise them to suit our needs and preferences. The study investigates contemporary office buildings and emphasises the importance of making our workplace environment more flexible, desirable, and durable by introducing cybernetic relationships between buildings and their users. The thesis concludes with a suggestion that the introduction of Co-adaptable environments, in which building users and their built environment positively affect and improve each other, is the key to achieving such environments.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
