Tristan Sterk, in full Tristan d'Estrée Sterk (born London, Ontario), is an American-Canadian architect and professor[3] who developed structural control theories, the applications of which support the creation of architectural structures and buildings that can change shape. Sterk's work investigates mathematical optimization in architecture, structural shape change, and building energy performance with contributions belonging to the fields of responsive architecture and smart structures.[4]
Theory[edit]
Essays appear in the annual proceedings of American and European research organizations, The Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) and The Association for Education and Research in Computer-Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe).
The 2003 ACADIA Proceedings edited by Kevin Klinger, include the paper "Using Actuated Tensegrity Systems to Create A Responsive Architecture".[5] The paper addresses the use of shape change in building envelope structures and introduced a class of structural systems called "actuated tensegrity" that extended and combined previous work by Buckminster Fuller (tensegrity) and Brian Culshaw (actuated tension). The paper documents the application of "actuated tensegrity" to create buildings that dynamically flex to change their performance by controlling structural tension components instead of the sistering compression members, typical for similar structures from the period. Examples of responses include changing the shape of a building to alter shading profiles or enable better natural air circulation appear in news and design articles.[6][7][8][9][10][11]
In the annual proceedings of eCAADe 2003, edited by Wolfgang Dokonal and Urs Hirschberg, the paper "Building on Negroponte; Using the Hybridized Model of Control to Create a Responsive Architecture" examines the control systems needed by responsive buildings. It proposes a framework that couples user and environmental input to produce a new theory of control.[12] The theory provides methods for coordinating building responses across systems ranging from non-structural to secondary and primary structural components and republished in a special issue of the International Journal of Automation in construction.[13] A later closely-related paper called "Responsive Architecture: User-centered Interactions within the Hybridized Model of Control" appears in the proceedings of Game Set and Match II, edited by Kas Oosterhuis and Lukas Feireiss. The paper address the response mechanisms required when components exist in spaces separated by boundaries that many people share.[14]
Kolarevic and Parlec's book "Building Dynamics: Exploring Architecture of Change" in discuss Sterk's work with respect to the topics of buildings as dynamic feedback systems, early models for user-centered interactions, hybridized control and networks of hybridized control.[15]
Work (Prairie House)[edit]
In 2011, Sterk designed the "Prairie House"[10] for a residential site in Northfield, Illinois. The American Institute of Architects, Chicago gave the house a merit award in the category of "Design Excellence in Unbuilt Work," 2011.
The house uses structural shape-change technology (actuated tensegrity) to create a dynamically variable building that optimizes its shape to improve performance over time, with environmental and seasonal changes. Studies document the savings made by improved thermal performance due to building responses, including color, permeability, thermal resistance, and shape-volume change.
Thermal Performance (Prairie House Studies)[edit]
Twelve thermal case studies (Prairie House 2011) demonstrating the scope of savings created by dynamically varying forms were published in the book "Persistent Modelling, Extending the role of architectural representation" by Phil Ayres (2012). Figures demonstrate that dynamically varying forms provide energy savings (20-30% is achievable on a normalized basis) than most static baseline forms.[16]
In the book "Building Dynamics: Exploring Architecture of Change" by Branko Kolarevic and Vera Parlac, another thermal performance estimate is provided. When comparing the residential project Prairie House to a typical home in the region, the combined responsive characteristics of variable form and insulation result in performance improvements that reduce energy use and carbon emissions by 40% on a normalized, square-foot basis.[17]
Career[edit]
Sterk worked at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in Chicago, Illinois, and for the architect Peter Busby, at Busby Perkins + Will in Vancouver, British Columbia. He subsequently became the founding partner of The Office for Robotic Architectural Media & Bureau for Responsive Architecture.[18]
Sterk was the Technical Chair for the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture Conference, held in Chicago Illinois 2009.

It sounds crazy, but says Mr Sterk, many ideas that were one considered crazy are now commonplace. Electricity was a batty idea, but now it's universal, he says. The same was true of suspension bridges and elevators. Dynamic intelligent, adaptable buildings are the logical next step, he claims.

Shape-changing envelopes offer architects the ability to produce buildings that condition themselves in very simple, natural and sustainable ways," says Sterk. "They enable buildings to be conceived of as systems that change shape to improve the way people live.

Sterk told CNN. We're living in an age when we are aware of dwindling energy resources and an increasing premium on space within cities. We have to react and we're looking at the natural world to inform how we design buildings.
