Abstract:
|
As tied to, and dependant on the built environment as we are, we are not stationary creatures. A building’s occupants are constantly changing. Growing, shrinking, moving, changing; with each new occupant comes new programming needs and requirements. These changes most often manifest themselves in demolition of some (or all) of the features of the current structure, and new
construction to meet the new occupants needs. It is my belief that this can be avoided in part or all together. This thesis is an exploration of flexible architecture as a case study for improving the life-cycle sustainability of the current building model. Proposed is a modular, moveable, interior/exterior panel system that can be applied to contemporary building practices to make a structure infinitely adaptable with respect to its program.
