Flexible - Further thoughts

A Tiny Apartment Transforms into 24 Rooms

As people are the activators of a space, user interaction is extremely important in the success of the design. The video above is a perfect example of this occuring on a small scale where the apartment condition will be ever-changing adjusting to the needs of the users.

While this video on appartment design is only focussed on living space and how a single person is interacting with this space, a much broader issue often found within city centres is that many buildings are never fully being utilized at all times during the day.

For this reason, our group agreed that flexible architecture should repond to the folloeing different factors:

  • Time
  • Location
  • Users
  • Culture
  • Climate
  • Needs (use, age, etc.)
  • Social
