Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategies in Morphable Architecture: Analyzing Transformation Modes and Practical Applications

Abstract

Global climate change and carbon emissions have garnered widespread attention on a global scale. The construction industry, as a
significant source of carbon emissions, plays a crucial role in achieving carbon neutrality and sustainable development goals. Conventional
methods of building design and construction typically involve substantial carbon emissions, encompassing aspects such as material production, construction, and transportation. Therefore, it is imperative to explore new architectural design approaches to reduce or entirely eliminate
carbon emissions. Morphable architecture represents an inevitable direction for the future of the industry and a pivotal pathway to addressing this issue. Morphable structures exhibit strong adaptability to external environmental changes, offer substantial adjustability in interior
functionality, and possess distinct advantages in shaping architectural forms. They provide modern buildings with diverse usage requirements
through high-tech operational modes and intelligent control methods. With the progression of time and advancements in technology, morphable architecture is poised to undergo extensive development, leveraging its advantages that surpass those of traditional construction.
The study analyzes the modes of adaptability in architecture and places net zero carbon emissions as the core design strategy. It examines the
challenges that traditional architectural practices face and presents corresponding solutions. This results in the formulation of several specific
design approaches, providing conceptual and strategic guidance for the future of morphable architecture.
