FINAL PROJECT

Today we discussed our final project with tutors and found the strengths in our design. For me these were:
 MOVING ROOMS- Can be detached from the building and taken to a new site/ location.

USE OF LIGHT- Moving parts change light entering the building.

STRUCTURE- Floor and ceiling are the same because of hollow blocks.

My statement so far:

My project is about the gathering and gifting of space. Four rooms have the ability to be detached from the building and transported to the colleague's wishful site to allow them to work with their projects.

The structure is situated by an apartment block close to the old railway station. This position fits the purpose of the design because the train can be used to carry the detachable room to new locations.
The location was also a good choice because it gives access to the colleague's needs which are all in a ten minute walking radius.

To create a threshold I attached the structure to the apartment building to provide a sense of new and old. To contribute to the sense of space the light levels inside the building will change because of a moving system. This gifts space because the only way space is visible to us is through light, thus the changing light levels can give the sensation of a changing space.
