[[File:Drawbridge.gif|thumb|
Rudimentary forms of kinetic architecture such as the [[drawbridge]] can be traced back to the Middle Ages or earlier. Yet it was only in the early 20th century that architects began to widely discuss the possibility for movement to be enabled for a significant portion of a buildings' [[superstructure]]. In the first third of the 20th century, interest in kinetic architect was one of the stands of thought emerging from the [[Futurism]] movement. Various papers and books included plans and drawings for moving buildings, a notable example being [[Yakov Chernikhov|Chernikhov's]] ''101 Architectural Fantasies'' (1933). For the first few decades of the 20th century kinetic architecture was almost entirely theoretical, but by the 1940s innovators such as [[Buckminster Fuller]] began experimenting with concrete implementations, though his early efforts in this direction are not regarded as totally successful.<ref name = "Transformers">
