In 2007, Tate organised a talk called Softspace based around the AD publication '4d Space: Interactive Architecture' Whilst some of the projects are quite dated, I would recommend watching the talk by Usman Haque. He presents an interesting theory about what interactive architecture is, providing a critique on projects that go 'beep in the night'! In his argument, he says that interactive architecture is like a conversation between two people where the outcome of both people is changed by each other and is unpredictable. The crucial thing in his argument is that for architecture to be truly interactive it is impossible to predict how the thing will react, meaning that the user has control on the input but also an effect on how the output is calculated.
