ABSTRACT: Deployable structures can provide a change in the geometric morphology of the envelope by contributing to making it adaptable to changing external climate factors, in order to improve the indoor climate performance of the building. They have the ability to transform themselves from a small, closed or stowed configuration to a much larger, open or deployed configuration being also known as erectable, expandable, extendible, developable or unfurlable structures. According to their structural system, deployable structures can be devided in four main groups: spatial bar structures consisting of hinged bars, foldable plate structures consisting of hinged plates, strut-cable (tensegrity) structures and membrane structures. In this paper a short review only on two of these groups of deployable structures for arhitectural applications will be presented.
