First and foremost architecture is the creation of a habitat for human living. Architect, Le Corbusier best describes remarkable spaces that he has experienced as ‘ineffable space’. He mentions that he is not a religious man, yet when entering certain spaces, a sense of spirituality is imbued in him. The ‘ineffable space’ that Le Corbusier speaks of has been lost and has been replaced by skin architecture. Advancements in technology have led to great achievements; the adaption of architecture into the digital age has been very sluggish. It is thus essential that the architect of today should attempt to move away from architecture as a visual stimulant, but rather go back to the roots of what architecture stands for - the creation of a healthy living environment for its users. Future architecture will be more dynamic.

Users are important elements of the design process. They need to be incorporated in the project at an early stage. In order to begin with a broad spectrum some different actors where approached and asked what their thoughts and interest are for the project.

Positive feedback from possible clients insured us that we are heading in the right direction. The foresight of having a meeting space has been accepted as an essential requirement for the different parties.

Through specialization of technical elements, solutions for the challenge will be found to make an ineffable changeble space possible. The specialization will focus on the potential use of different elements. They will be judged on their adaptability and in a later stage on fabrication potential.

===2. GPRS Mapping===
 
  
 
From Kevin Lynch’s empirical research on how individuals perceive and navigate through a site has led to research done using GPRS tracking devices for site analysis. His books explore the presence of how urban environments human perception of the physical form of cities and regions as the conceptual basis for good urban design.
 
 
[[Image:GPS_Analysis.jpg|GPRS tracking devices mapped three different activities on the site|800px]]
 
[[Image:GPS_Analysis2.jpg|Overlapping Mesh from GPRS|800px]]
 
 
We added a mesh between all the points and overlaid the different layers over each other to see the effect of how different activities are linked and intertwined. To conclude, the overlapping spaces can provide a variety of programmes without disrupting the original scheme.

===3. Traditional anthropometrics===
 
 
 
Traditional Anthropometrics are related to the human scale and objects we interact with. Once the shape and size of an object change, the dimensions governing the interaction between object and user will also have to change. Our design will then lead to new studies of anthropometrics to enable comfortable interaction for the user.

Ineffable [    space    ]

Concept

Architecture is the creation of a habitat for human living. Architect, Le Corbusier best describes remarkable spaces that he has experienced as ‘ineffable space’. He mentions that he is not a religious man, yet when entering certain spaces, a sense of spirituality is imbued in him. The ‘ineffable space’ that Le Corbusier speaks of has been lost and has been replaced by skin architecture. Advancements in technology have led to great achievements; the adaption of architecture into the digital age has been very slow. It is thus essential that the architect of today should attempt to move away from architecture as a visual stimulant, but rather go back to the roots of what architecture stands for - the creation of a healthy living environment for its users.

Future architecture will be more dynamic. Currently dynamic architecture is all the hype and is often used as concepts for new designs. Once the excitement of dynamic and interactive design has died down, we will find that true integration within design systems will be created. The concept and drive for this project is the focus on architecture as an adaptable habitat, an architecture that fulfils the needs of its inhabitants. The design is dynamic, but that is not important. What is essential in the concept is that through a dynamic structure more functions are able to take place.

Design Challange Process

Making an intervention adaptable in such a way users will be tempted to use new age architecture. In order to do this, a bottom up design exercise is needed. An investigation of different group's demands will help attract viable funding to the project.
