Adaptable Architecture vs Modular Architecture

I found this video expressed the ideas of utilising sliding and folding parts to not only adapt spatially but also environmentally in terms of shading devices and windows. I think consideration of these factors are vitally important when contemplating architecture that must be able to respond to all landscapes and climatic conditions. To me the use of sliding and folding parts seems the logical answer to the relationship between material and space in relocatable design but maybe I need to think a little more outside the square?

One other alternative that is already adopted in the mod-5 design is modular architecture. This video demonstrates its advantages, however the repetitiveness of the main unit makes the esing as a whole seem very boring...
