PROCESS
The project began with a focus on the word dynamic, grown out of a frustration with the static body.
In the Fall of 2014, I commenced an independent study with Kiel Moe and K. Michael Hays to explore of history of the architectural body, with an attempt to understand the pervalence of the silhouette and its implication in the nullifaction of our interior environments.
The research lead me to believe that it is not that body that is static, but rather the building - calibrated interior conditions that do not require the body to acclimate, to work, to adapt. Therefore, we should shift our attention to the architecture and generate forms that are dynamic, that work in tandem with the body in its habitation of spaces.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
The initial models focused on creating dynamic architecture - walls or rooms that move to create thermal variance. The second stage of concept models focus on the idea of a tumbling prototype - its is not that walls that move, but the building and thus the creation of thermal variance through form.
