Chameleon Architecture
Designing for a World in Transition
Conference in English with simultaneous French translation · Presented by Jenchieh Hung + Kulthida Songkittipakdee / HAS design and research · Presented at Expo Design by Kulthida Songkittipakdee
Conference description
Chameleon Architecture: Designing for a World in Transition reflects the ongoing inquiry of Jenchieh Hung + Kulthida Songkittipakdee / HAS design and research into how architecture can adapt, transform and respond to an ever-changing global context.
In a time shaped by environmental uncertainty, social shifts and technological acceleration, architects and professors Jenchieh Hung and Kulthida Songkittipakdee approach design not as a fixed solution, but as a living system.
Their work explores flexibility, modularity and cultural sensitivity as essential tools for resilience. Like a chameleon, architecture must continuously negotiate between permanence and change, blending into its context while retaining a distinct identity.
Key takeaways
1Architecture as a living system : An approach embracing adaptability, transformation and responsiveness in a rapidly changing global context.
2Designing for uncertainty : Addressing environmental, social and technological shifts through resilient and flexible strategies.
3Cultural sensitivity : Grounding design in local context while engaging global conditions.
4Modularity and flexibility : Developing systems that evolve over time rather than remain fixed.
5Negotiating permanence and change : Balancing architectural identity with the capacity to transform.
