1.0 | Transformable Space
The design of a 6’ cubic space was a principle component of this semester’s design-build approach to learning about the application of mechanisms in architectural transformation. The SLICE design divides the cubic space into 5 separate layers which expand and contract via rotation in an alternating fashion to produce a wide variety of experiences and uses. Three module types dictate the interior program, with one composed of two chairs and a table, the second a bench, and the third a shelf for display or privacy. This kinetic components within the first and last modules allow for dynamic change at a smaller scale than the overall form.
