Adaptive User Interface

[jrc-creative]

When designing a website, it's important to consider how it will look and function on different devices. Responsive and adaptive web design are two approaches to designing websites that adapt to different screen sizes. Here's the difference:

 Ø  Responsive web design adjusts the layout of a website based on the size of the screen. It uses flexible grid systems and fluid images to ensure that the website looks good on all devices, from desktops to smartphones. Responsive design uses a single design that adapts to different screen sizes, resulting in a consistent user experience across devices.

Ø  Adaptive web design, on the other hand, uses multiple designs for different screen sizes. Instead of relying on a single layout that adapts to different screens, adaptive design uses several predefined layouts that are specifically designed for different devices. When a user visits a website, the server detects the user's device and serves the appropriate layout.

 Both responsive and adaptive web design have their advantages and disadvantages, and the best approach depends on the specific needs of your website and users.

Responsive Design v/s Adaptive Design! 🚀 Content is like a fluid. Just like you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, when you put it into a glass, it becomes glass. When you read content on the laptop, 💻it gives a different look and when you read on mobile, it changes according to mobile layout. 📱 https://www.designingbulls.com/responsive-design-v-s-adaptive-design/ 🤩🤩 . . #design #branding #productdesign #responsivedesign #responsiveness #adaptivedesign #adaptive #webdesign #designingbulls (at Udaipur, Rajasthan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6dfmexFaVH/?igshid=15ngyi26cx44j

What a wonderful #givingtuesday @adaptivedesigninc ! It’s not too late. Friends - as many of you know, I have been active volunteer and Board Member. ADA makes custom adaptations for children with disabilities from readily available and affordable materials, like cardboard. Everyday, ADA make a profound difference in the lives of hundreds of individuals, because custom seating doesn’t just mean sitting properly — it means learning, playing, eating, joining, and actively participating with one’s peers. I know times are stressful, but if you have a moment please watch the video and please consider donating to the “Everyday at ADA” campaign. https://everydayatada.funraise.org/ #adaptivedesign #customadaptations #adaptivedesignassociation https://www.instagram.com/p/B5oQN_QlxaE/?igshid=5vdqxwiy9ayc

"Nature has evolved a multitude of microorganisms that change shape as their environmental conditions change. This basic principle inspired our microrobot design. The key challenge for us was to develop the physics that describe the types of changes we were interested in, and then to integrate this with new fabrication technologies.”

A new approach to building. Reflexive, adaptive, lived.

We readily accept that biology and nature exist in systems of feedback, evolution and adaptation, but we are less inclined to understand architecture in these terms despite its relationship to social organisation and culture. Walking around the Francis Crick institute, a biomedical research institution, I found myself wondering – what is the life of a building? And if we view architecture as a living system of feedback and response, what should that mean for the architectural design process?

Architects often create buildings in deterministic models, for them, the life of a building begins with a brief and ends with a completed structure. Whilst there is a consideration for user, with affordances (Gibson, 1979) built into the design, rarely does the feedback loop endure past the day that the user enters and the building becomes wholly his domain.

But architecture is living and it is adapted by the user: the plant pots that come to reside on desks, the posters that are stuck over windows to stop people looking in, and equally the building shapes the behaviour of the inhabitants there’s the kitchen that isn’t used because there’s not enough space in the fridge for your lunch, the chair cluster that everyone wants to congregate at because it has the perfect view over London; we generate habitus (Bourdieu, 1977) in our buildings, an embodied sense of ‘just what’ functions in architecture once we’ve had the opportunity to live in it.  

As Alan Penn argues, we cannot separate structure and agent (building and user) in our analysis of architecture (Penn, 2008/9), and I would argue that analysis should persist beyond the completion of a building because this is when the life of a building really comes to be. If we accept that a building lives with its user, and that space and society are shaped concurrently, then we cannot expect to provide for every eventuality within the floor plan. Buildings need to be continuously evaluated and adapted with user for use.

The Francis Crick institute is exemplary of an architectural approach that maintains a feedback system between architecture, architect and user.  Despite being highly specialised and strongly programmed, HO+K designed the buildings and imbued it with the capacity to adapt and be adapted.

“ Now we know how the building is used, there will be a second wave of building improvements that will fix that.”

The Francis Crick Institute can be summarised as, “[a] research centre without hierarchy or departmental divisions. A place with open doors for impromptu conversations and idea sharing. An environment where collaboration trumps competition and where the work of one researcher is intimately connected to that of her peers” (HO+K, 2019).  This ethos is embedded in the infrastructure of the building and of its users, and the design reflects this philosophy. Having an adaptive design and an approach that encourages a continuous feedback between structure, agent and design has facilitated the goals of the institute to bring together outstanding scientists from all disciplines (Crick, 2019).

Fig 1. through space syntax analysis, we can see the strong visibility and accessibility in the building. (Salier and Pachilova, 2017)

This can seen through space syntax analysis, which demonstrates the strong visibility and accessibility in the building (Salier and Pachilova, 2017) but wondering around The Crick, it was clear that the ethos of the building was reflected in the lived experience, scientists held meetings in communal areas, there was a general buzz of activity and social events and open invitations were tacked to the wall. The building had a system of feedback, reflection and adaptation and it had a life of its own.

The #responsive design will reconfigure all design elements whether it’s viewed on a desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile phone. With adaptive design, different fixed layouts are created that adapt to the user’s screen size. As opposed to the more fluid responsive approach, adaptive design employs multiple sizes of a fixed design.

In this article 👉 https://glivera-team.com/responsive-website-the-key-to-your-business-success/ , we talk about why it's important to create user-friendly #websites and how it affects your business. #userfriendly #responsivedesign #business #frontend #adaptivedesign #gliverateam

Universal design is a great underlying strategy for residential design. Visitability, which is also only a residential idea, is closely aligned with universal design. Then, we have aging in place, which, is not so much a specific type of design, but rather an approach or strategy for individual dwellings that appeals to the specific needs of the individuals in those homes.
