While reflecting the highly developing technological conditions of our time and responding to environmental changes to adapt itself with its context; a Responsive Architectural product must at last be affordable enough to be made everywhere even in developing countries.There are two main reasons that make this field of architecture to be captive in research Lab and showrooms. First of all, many of the Architecture projects which are called Responsive are only aesthetic creations rather than functional ones. The other cause of this state is that the integration of mechanics, electronics, computation, digital fabrication techniques (especially CNC machines) and generative-parametric ideas increases the final price of this technology-dependent act.This project demonstrates the possibility of making a Real Responsive Project in Kerman - located on a high margin of Lut Desert in the central south of Iran- regarding to practical and cost-effective factors through describing a recently built project. An ordinary unfinished official building was the context of the project. The team started gathering both aesthetic and practical concepts together. By means of simplifying parametric computations and technical processes, a façade was reached which reacts to environmental and human changes. It reconfigures its shape and controls inner light and heat and also the appearance of the building. Considering durability, simplicity and cost-effective manners; it reflects both a holistic concept for environmental design and aesthetic ideas.
