Abstract

Since ancient times, the buildings evaluation depended on durability confront

different factors and conditions for the longest possible period, regardless of their
ability to adapt to the changes occurring as well as meeting the diverse needs, the
research aims to provide non-traditional solutions to meet the different requirements
and problems that may face the architects, An analytical study of Dynamic
architecture is capable of achieving sustainability and providing architectural
environments that are adaptable to different variables. The research presents the
various definitions of sustainability and dynamic architecture. It also explains the
elements of sustainability and how to apply on the dynamic buildings whether static
or partially or fully-dynamic.

An applied study was conducted for the dynamic buildings on two models of global
buildings to reach 39 design criteria were identified as a guide to evaluate the level of
dynamic building integration.
Pelli was born October 12, 1926, in San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina.[7] Pelli studied architecture
at the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán.[8][9] He graduated in 1949, after which he designed low-cost
housing projects.[10] In 1952, he attended the University of Illinois School of Architecture in the United
States for advanced study in architecture, and received his Master of Science in Architecture degree
in 1954.[11][12]
He married acclaimed landscape architect Diana Balmori, who worked as a partner at his company.
They had two children: Denis, a neurobiologist and Professor of Psychology and Neural Science at
New York University and Rafael Pelli, like his father also a well-known architect. The couple resided
in an apartment in The San Remo on Manhattan's Upper West Side.

Career[edit]
Early years[edit]

Pacific Design Center, Los Angeles

In 1952, Pelli moved to the United States[13] with his wife, Diana Balmori[14] (1932–2016), and became
a naturalized citizen in 1964.[15] After his graduation from the University of Illinois School of
Architecture, Pelli worked for Eero Saarinen in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, for ten years.[16][17] While
with Eero, he worked on the TWA terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport[18] and
the Morse and Stiles colleges at Yale University.[19]
In 1964, he became director of design at Daniel, Mann, Johnson and Mendenhall in Los
Angeles.[20] In 1965, Pelli designed the Sunset Mountain Park Urban Nucleus (an unbuilt
project).[21] In 1968 Pelli became partner for design at Gruen Associates in Los Angeles.[22] In 1969,
Pelli designed the COMSAT research and development laboratories in Clarksburg,
Maryland.[23][24] Pelli designed his first landmark building with the Pacific Design Center in West
Hollywood, California, which was completed 1975 and became known by the locals as the "Blue
Whale". The United States Embassy in Tokyo, Japan, was designed by Pelli in 1972 and completed
in 1975.[25] While practicing in Los Angeles, Pelli taught in the architecture program at UCLA.[26]

1977–1989[edit]
In 1977, Pelli was selected to be the dean of the Yale School of Architecture in New Haven,
Connecticut, and served in that post until 1984.[27] Shortly after Pelli arrived at Yale, he won the
commission to design the expansion and renovation of the Museum of Modern Art in New York,
which resulted in the establishment of his own firm, Cesar Pelli & Associates.[28][29][30] The museum's
expansion/renovation and the Museum of Modern Art Residential Tower were completed 1984; the
World Financial Center in New York, which includes the grand public space of the Winter Garden,
was completed in 1988.[31] Among other significant projects during this period are the Crile Clinic
Building in Cleveland, Ohio, completed 1984; Herring Hall at Rice University in Houston, Texas (also
completed 1984); completion in 1988 of the Green Building at the Pacific Design Center in West
Hollywood, California; and the construction of the Wells Fargo Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in
1989.[32]

1990–2005[edit]

Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur

Pelli was named one of the ten most influential living American Architects by the American Institute
of Architects in 1991. In 1995, he was awarded the American Institute of Architects Gold
Medal.[33][34] In May 2004, Pelli was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from
the University of Minnesota Duluth where he designed Weber Music Hall.[35] In 2005, Pelli was
honored with the Connecticut Architecture Foundation's Distinguished Leadership Award.[36]
Buildings designed by Pelli during this period are marked by further experimentation with a variety of
materials (most prominently stainless steel) and his evolution of the skyscraper. One Canada
Square at Canary Wharf in London (opened in 1991); Plaza Tower in Costa Mesa, California
(completed 1991); and the NTT Headquarters in Tokyo (finished 1995) were preludes to a landmark
project that Pelli designed for Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[37] The Petronas Towers were completed in
1997, sheathed in stainless steel and reflecting Islamic design motifs.[38] The dual towers were the
world's tallest buildings until 2004.[39] That year, Pelli received the Aga Khan Award for
Architecture for the design of the Petronas Towers[40] Pelli's design for the National Museum of Art
in Osaka, Japan, was completed 2005, the same year that Pelli's firm changed its name to Pelli
Clarke Pelli Architects to reflect the growing roles of senior principals Fred W. Clarke and Pelli's son
Rafael.[41]

2006–2019[edit]

Salesforce Tower, San Francisco

The Cira Centre on the Schuylkill River, designed by Pelli, opened in January 2006. Pelli designed
the master plan for Cira Centre South, the tallest building dedicated to student housing in the United
States. The building houses students of the University of Pennsylvania and was completed in 2014.
He was also architect of the 730-foot luxury mixed-use skyscraper FMC Tower as part of the Cira
Centre South development.[42]
This period saw the completion of several cultural/civic projects designed by Pelli. The Adrienne
Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami, Florida, opened in 2006, the same year that Pelli's
design for the Minneapolis Central Library completed construction, as well as the Renee and Henry
Segerstrom Concert Hall and Samueli Theater in Costa Mesa, California.[43] Pelli designs for office
towers and developments throughout Asia and South America have been completed in the past
decade.[44] In 2012, the three-building Pacific Design Center, which Pelli designed 40 years earlier
while at Gruen Associates, was completed with the addition of the Red Building.[45]
In May 2008, Pelli was given an honorary Doctor of Arts degree by Yale University.[46] That same
year, he received the Lynn S. Beedle Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council on Tall Buildings
and Urban Habitat (CTBUH).[47] In 2012, Pelli was honored with the platinum Konex Award for
architecture and the diamond Konex Award for visual arts.[48]
Major projects completed in the 2010s included The Landmark in Abu Dhabi and Sevilla
Tower in Seville, Spain.[49][50] In 2018, the Salesforce Tower and the first phase of the
adjacent Transbay Transit Center in San Francisco were completed. The Salesforce Tower was
named the world's best tall building by CTBUH in 2019 which is the year when Pelli died.[51]
