1. Introduction
Cities and towns worldwide consist of all types of buildings, which are static and motionless. This concept of motionless is the common dominant notion of perceiving buildings as stable structures that provide the maximum safety to its users. The evolution of modern architecture, which was a social and political revolution tied to the issue of Modernity and Enlightenment, represented the natural result of the technological and engineering developments of the Industrial Revolution. Modernism was also associated with technological advances, industrialization, urbanization, and the massive growth of mass communication systems.
Modernization describes human cultural tendencies and innovative artistic movements that announced themselves as being in alignment with the orientation towards the future.From mid-19thCentury, the availability of new building materials such as iron, steel, concrete, and glass played an essential role in developing new building techniques and the appearance of industrial architecture, which contributed to the transformation of the landscape of many parts of the world.
Also, the invention of the machine, the concept of motionless, began to be challenged by many architects and engineers whose main aim was to invest in the capabilities of the machine and build flexible structures that can accommodate change over time.
The study of motion in buildings is an excitingexperience that explores the different scientific, socio-economic, and cultural forces that shaped its architecture.The main aim of the concept of moving architecture is to solve an existing environmental or social problem, satisfy people's requirements, and express the technology of its time. Furthermore, buildings in motion have many advantages, such as the ever-changing panoramic views and the adjustment to the movement of sun andwind. However, this aspect of motion in buildings represented time as the fourth dimension to architecture and could be perceived as the first practical introduction to the concept of sustainability.Although there are numerous fascinating, moving buildings, their documentation was absent from the 20th-century architectural discourse. However, the 21stCentury represents a firm base on which this type of architecture can exhibit its relevance to the more recent dialog between architecture and technology. However, moving architecture introduced solutions to specific developmental problems that motionless buildings could not achieve.
2. History of Architecture in Motion
Moving architecture refers to buildings or some of their parts that have dynamic motion. It includes a variety of building types such as houses, restaurants, theaters, and towers, whose designs demonstrate the progress of innovated technology in the building industry. The progress in the engineering field has allowed architects to envision and design a marvelous array
