Revitalization

Collaborative Design

ARC380 - Technology Studio III

Instructor: Nathan Bishop

Partner: Lhanzi Gyaltsan 

September - December 2020

The project envisions a kinetic “living pod” that functions as a modern meditation space located within nature. It proposes the synthesis of modern technologies and natural environment, offering a temporary escape from the congested city life. Hydraulic driven auxetic movements of wall pieces allow flexible adjustments of openings, which effectively control the level of light penetration and air circulation.
