Abstract：From slight changes in envelopes to dramatic changes in structures, “transformable form” as a climate-adaptive strategy is increasingly being used in sustainable buildings. This strategy improves building operation performance as well as leads to high input and high carbon emission during materialization. By contrast, drastic transformation, which is more climate-adaptive and costly, has difficulties in practice and promotion. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate environmental and economic benefits of dramatictransformable buildings and judge their sustainability. This paper takes a typical prototype, the 8-Fold House, as an example, analyzes its performance at different life cycle stages with the LCA and LCC methods, and compares its material consumption, energy demand, carbon emission and costs with static scenarios of the same prototype. The results show that the 8-Fold House has both advantages and limitations in terms of sustainability. The research findings could provide reference for future design of transformable buildings.
