transformable architecture

This project is the continuation of my bachelor’s thesis called “New Construction System Through Digital Modeling Strategies” and also is an application of what I learned in my master program ITP.
In my opinion, using technology we should think of buildings like organisms capable to transform and move as a result of the interaction with people and their behavior and changes of the environment.

This study is a research to design and develop a modular, structural and active piece that can generate an interactive surface, something like a “kinetic brick”. This transformable architecture is a series of experiments exploring math, physical computing, geometry, mechanisms, and ways to generate dynamic architecture.
