Design Challenge Pillars
1- Adaptable Architecture:
Adaptable architecture implements different adaptability dimensions and strategies to respond to different contextual aspects. The adaptability dimensions point to the components or elements of buildings that change while different adaptability strategies usually focus on responding to a specific aspect
2- VR / Computational Design Approach:
Virtual reality (VR) has been used for divers e purposes, in engineering and design applications the purpose is to verify the performance of a design object with respect to the criteria involved in the task during a search for superior solutions. In computational design, where this verification and search process are performed by means of computation, the instantiation of objects in virtual reality may become a necessary feature. The necessity occurs when the verification process requires the presence of ‘physical’ object attributes beyond the parameters that are subject to identification through search.

3- New Definition of Architectural Spaces:
Urban areas around the world are experiencing many problems related to a poor use of buildings, and high consumption of energy and materials through repetitive buildings’ refurbishment or demolition. Inhabitants and users complain about rigidity of their buildings which become inadaptable to their evolving needs through time. Architecture must embrace adaptability and flexibility to withstand effectively, and with respect of sustainability, the increasing needs of change that our contemporary society knows, and to create a symbiotic relationship between the building and its users.
