kinetic architecture

I'm having my graduate thesis on kinetic architecture. It's very difficult to find valuable references. Anyone knows any resource - books, websites, project - about that topic? Thanks

why did you pick kinetic architecture when you don't seem to know anything about it?

Didn't know where to post this interesting little piece, but here goes:

I'm having a small essay about kinetic architecture too, and I think that I can give you some clues to search for:
try finding out about oosterhuis and his e-motive house (there is a book: Hyperbodies-towards an e-motive Architecture)
kinetic design group MIT
also search for intelligent architecture and smart houses

An internet addresse that seemed quite helpful:http://www.iit.edu

If I find more about the subject. i'll contact you again. Hope to have helped.
If you find anything interesting, I would be grateful if you let me know too.

Thanks Iro,
your link was helpful, now i'm getting into the topic.
even I found more intersting materials at:
www.aiborg.net
This team of architects made a more architecture design addressed research on a kinetic structure for leisure field. Their book Leisurator is interstingly read and explanatory on how to use and programme a reconfiguarable playground on space and time.

Hope it is not too late posted for your essay.

On which subject, it appears that the influence of Archigram is finally taking hold- in suburban Dublin of all places!
