==Etymology==
Both words making up the phrase ''Kinetic architecture'' are of Greek derivation. 'Kinetic' comes from the ancient Greek word κινητικός (kinētikos, "one who puts in motion"). 'Architecture' is dervived from the Greek ἀρχιτέκτων (arkhitekton, from ἀρχι- "chief" and τέκτων "builder, carpenter, mason").
