Kinetic architectural systems blur the separation between outdoor and indoor spaces, maximizing a living or working area and making it usable throughout the year. When retractable structures, roofs, skylights, windows, or doors are integrated into a building project, enclosed spaces are no longer limited to being indoor spaces only. This course discusses the foundational, engineering, and mechanical requirements for incorporating motion in architecture to provide flexible living and working environments in any type of weather.

Jeff Manger has been involved in the “Retractable Living Industry” for over 10 years now. Since 2005, he’s worked with the architectural community to develop convertible living spaces for both residential and commercial applications. As the trend for outdoor living continues to grow, Jeff has found that increasingly clients are demanding the integration of retractable components in their overall designs. Jeff is pleased to share his insights on this emerging industry and how they can be utilized to set yourself apart from others in the architectural community.
