摘要

Kinetic architecture, with its adaptability to environmental and human needs, offers new possibilities for contemporary design. This study examines the integration of kinetic architecture with the rich heritage of historical Islamic geometric patterns, focusing on the ten-point star patterns (five-fold patterns) found in Isfahan mosques. It explores the potential of kinetic configurations that emerge directly from the principles embedded within the original patterns, ensuring continuity rather than deviation. Using an iterative morphological analysis and design-based methodology, the study conducted a geometric analysis of pattern configurations by adjusting the angles of pattern families within their underlying generative tessellations. The results demonstrate that angle modifications and the application of specific elements enable translational or rotational motions at connection points, facilitating transformative patterns in a manner supported by the coordinated movement of scissor structures. The approach presented in this study bridges traditional aesthetics with contemporary functionality for creating responsive architectural environments. The presented methodology can be generalised for other similar types of patterns with ten-point star patterns.
