本研究意在開發一室內動態天花系統之原型架構，運用動態機制進行空間領域的實質調適。本研究探索的課題有兩項。首先是運用現今普遍設置的監視錄影機作為空間資料來源，以極低解析度影像偵測機制使系統針對各活動進行調適；其次為材料對於運動影響性之進一步探討。
智慧動態建築的整體形變來自單元個別作用，藉著非中央控制型智慧機制，達到遍布於空間的聰慧環境。智慧建築元素則透過開放建築理論之系統化、模組化構造方式獲得與建築實體單元緊密結合的契機。模組化的智慧建築元素則可與使用者肢體進行互動，透過校正以及學習機制，建立遍布運算的動態智慧建築空間。
本研究設計之室內動態天花系統架構分為實體與運算兩大層級。實體層級包含支架體與填充體，構成系統化、模組化之動態天花硬體。運算層級分為感測系統與制動系統，借重影像分析即時判讀環境的變異資料，再轉由制動系統以單元個別下降並藉著連鎖關係，構成曲面或垂直分隔型態。影像偵測機制藉實際空間進行演練，運用極低解析度的感測，開發系統之運算機制。而實體材料之試驗中以鋼性連鎖材料以及彈性連鎖材料的剖面觀察、單元陣列排列的空間分隔效能試驗以及面狀張力材料之運用以探索系統分隔形式的潛力。最後由情境模擬展現運用可能性、示範其使用方式以及分隔與空間情境調適之預期效果。未來之研究則可朝向智慧材料的開發以及其他建築元素進行應用與研究。

This thesis aims to develop a kinetic ceiling system that can adjust spaces dynamically. There are two research issues. The first one is to devise a low-tech method of detecting usage patterns in a space. The second is to investigate kinetic patterns of ceilings with various surface materials.
Recent research development of kinetic architecture emphasises transformation through accumulative movements of many individual architectural components without centralized controls. By systematically organizing architectural components and integrating each component with appropriate ubiquitous computing mechanisms, a smart, adaptive architectural space can be achieved.
Based on these research development, this thesis designed a kinetic ceiling system with two integral layers. The physical layer includes architectural supports and infills. The computing layer includes sensing and actuating systems. The sensing system is designed based on a low-resolution image processing algorithm which can detect spatial usage patterns in real-time. The actuating system triggers movements of architectural infills to achieve adjustments of the space. Two types of infill materials, rigid and elastic, are examined to simulate various kinetic patterns of ceilings. The capacity of the kinetic ceiling system is demonstrated through several usage scenarios.
