The staff office modules are one of the structures moving elements that allow transportation for staff from their facilities to the Lecture Theatre, and although the idea was somewhat lighthearted in its conception, the decision began to be crystallised by the space restrictions. With a small space elevators and stairs consume a lot of room proportionally and thus it only makes sense to design responsive space. Following this it almost cements the ideal that space can be smaller as long as it is not immovable.
The second moving element is within the top floor studio spaces. As the design is for a School of Architecture I believed it would be beneficial to create a space that can change its orientation in order for students to read and learn from different aspects of the urban landscape.
The extension has the capacity to rotate outwards from either edge differing the orientation of the facade and hence the view of those within the space. This movement was inspired by the accordion and its dynamic nature.
(unfortunately this effect was unable to be obtained through my use of Lumion or Sketchup)
