    Research Team: Efilena Baseta – Ece Tankal – Ramin Shambayati What our architecture may lack in a set style and goals is compensated in its ability to harness flows of energy and information in its various transitions. By treating our architecture as a homogenous system we give it the potential for infinite personalization [...]

  We propose an architecture of transition. A series of transitions between forces, (material) phases, people, spaces, and functions. Form does not always follow the functions that we cannot predict but rather the phases that our new built environments can go through in their relationship with humans, nature, and existing buildings. It is in our [...]

The project is based on creating a structural system that reacts to certain stimuli and changes its configuration within a given space. The nature of responsiveness can occur after the structure is erected, resulting in real-time reactions to its local users. We experimented with different materials which were activated with various stimuli such as shear force, electricity, [...]
