Abstract

Dynamic configuration is the virtual applications and the innovation which create a wide range of sustainable buildings and spaces. In the virtual world, the conventional fourth dimension (time) is substituted by the element of movement (both 'physical and mental). Although the fourth dimension was known long ago since the medieval times, it was only studied in the nineteenth-century mathematically. If we look at the social context, we explore the biographies and works of the main characters in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, one shall notice that ethics and religion merely affected the study of the fourth dimension.
The liability issue is that green architecture or sustainability was described in the form of micro-climate environmental concepts; disregarding the other features, particularly that relate to Dynamic Configuration (4th dimension) which could affect the form of architecture to achieve sustainability.
Thus, the paper aims to concentrate on these features and bring its variable items as a type of application from contemporary architecture to be considered as an unlimited datum of ecological resilience.
The paper methodology is a descriptive and analytical method which used to prove that this sort of building was planned for an ecological model to fulfil the necessities for sustainability.   
Finally, the paper resulted in; time and space have a strong relationship where motion in architecture expressed the time factor, and a fourth dimension ‘Time' became part of architectural design which can improve the sustainability and affect building innovation to put creative forms and designs while respecting the surround environments.
