design

My design is parasitical building hooking onto the Shakespeare Tower of the Barbican Towers.
Inside the rooms are created by multiple solid platforms on different layers
The outer mantle is formed by stretching cloth that creates closed spaces
The special ability of the building is to fold itself into a new more compact form
The final compact form is a cube. The folding technique guarantees that all platforms are fitting in without interfering each other

The building is meant to be a place to work for the client, so it contains several rooms for experimenting or gaining knowledge.


The next step in my design will be changing the outer form from a cube to a transport container, to allow site changes of the building. So it enables the host to take it with him.



In order of this change the measures change from a 6 metres edge length cube to a IAAA ISO-Container
