In recent years, many interactive concepts have been invented. Some of these concepts have the ability to adapt and interact with the surrounding environment and its variants which include; light, sound, wind, heat or with people. This adaptation and interaction is done by some sort of transformation that does not require human assistance. Moreover, returning to their original state happens without significant deformation at the end of the external influence. Discovery of such interactive concepts stimulated a number of architects to utilize these concepts in several architectural environmental applications such as; sun shading, sun breakers and windows, in a way which significantly makes use of the concept and technology of interactive movement in architecture. The paper attempts to review the literature and descriptively analyse interactive applications in kinetic architecture and study the role of these applications in the development of this trend in architectural design to be more effective and applicable in the future.
