Abstract

Architecture in motion: More than just an idea, it is a concept quickly becoming a reality. The real question is how will this concept shape architecture of the future. Exploration of kinetic architecture and tectonics will open a gateway to forms that can actively adapt to the programmatic needs of the user. Advances of material technology and construction processes have led us to the brink of a breakthrough. It is the job of the future designer to push beyond what we know as the boundaries of static form. I hope to explore the relationship between transformative space and meaningful architectural experience through the lens of a 20,000 square foot art pavilion in Chicago, IL.
