Finally about time some serious productivity happened! The bright pink sections can be pulled around to create a space. I'd like to make it so all the triangles can move in lots of different ways to create various outdoor seating ares, exhibition spaces, personal chill out spaces, or social group spaces. This is the start of my explorations.
This is the wall with all the panels tucked away.
The two lower bright pink panels folded down to form the stands.
The bright pink panel folded down to form a table
The table can be converted by pulling up the left side
Underneath the left side pops open to form a wee cave
The right side pulls up in the same way and opens up to a bigger cave-ish shape
This area acts as a seat for people. If I made it much bigger it could hold more people, or I could create lots of small ones, that can face in or away from each other, depending on how they are unfolded.
This is my application to the building. It illustrates play, interaction and flexible spaces (like what Claire was talking about in her presentation). I'm thinking that anywhere bright pink is featured it's a sign that it's a movable feature. These sorts of walls could be throughout the hallways and outside the lift, areas people can use as meeting places or while they are waiting for something. There could be little quirky hidden things throughout the whole building. There could be secret places that lead to little hideaway cozies where final year students could work. A bit of a Harry Potter style system, where you need to be in the know and can always discover and learn, which reflects what University encourages and what happens here, in creative ways.
I also noticed that Design students don't tend to spend a lot of time outside (they all hide in labs and workshops) and there wasn't a space around the building designed for it. A bit of sunshine and fresh air is always a good way to take a break so if the space looks the part people will use it, thats the plan anyway.
