Shape shifting
Multiple elements
http://www.ted.com/talks/skylar_tibbits_can_we_make_things_that_make_themselves.html In the lecture above Skylar Tibbits talks about homogeen elements which are able to addept in shape size and possible are able to change function in this way.
Single element
This Hoberman sphere is able to change scale and still keep the same shape.
Origami
Changeable shape don't need to consist very complex technical elements motors or connections, by making the right connections a lot of changes are already possible. Good examples of this are different origami creations.
Interactive architecture
Interactive architecture is hard to distinguise from art. Often the interactive part of building isn't the essence of a building but rather a addition to it. This is addition is nice and sometimes functional as well, however we feel that in a lot of cases this feature will loose it's wow factor. some examples
Static shape
This facade detects objects in front it, by changing the translucense of the small element it reacts in real time on it'senvironment. This facade does a trick, after people experienced it they will quit quickly get bored with it, this is something we want to prevent. In future intervention the activity will be for functional reasons.

Adaptive to user
A beenbag, what is more simpeler and lowtecht example of a multi element (beans) object adepting in shape and size to accomodate the user. The same goes for faom matrasses, according to the weight putt on these matrasses the shape changes to addept to the human body.
Changing function
here can be references which change shape to accompany different functions but also references which only change ambiance to hold different functions.
