I'm a big fan of Chuck Hoberman's transformable design work, coming up with amazing ways in which structures can change shape and be used innovative architectural projects. It seems Hoberman has teamed up with Buro Happold to create the adaptive buildings initiative. There are some great flash demonstrations of the geometry as it adapts to your input.
According to their website: "ABI designs and produces building envelopes. By controlling light levels, solar gain, and thermal performance, our adaptive systems reduce energy usage, enhance comfort, and increase the flexibility of the built environment. Additionally, we develop adaptive strategies that can be effectively applied to a wide range of other building systems."
"ABI draws on a portfolio of systems that we customize to deliver complete, comprehensive, and integrated solutions for specific projects. Successful delivery requires full involvement through project completion: Our offerings include design, engineering and analysis, prototyping, sourcing, control system integration, manufacturing and installation oversight, and whatever else the project requires."
