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 The ‘ineffable space’ that Le Corbusier speaks of has been lost and has been replaced by skin architecture.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.

The concept and drive for our design 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. This notion of changeable function creates the ultimate approach in architecture – the creation of space that allows for multiple and adaptable programme.

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.

==''Validators''==
 
 
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.
 
 
 
'''Main Validator'''
 
 
Stylos was very interested in the project and and proposed to us that they would like to be closely incorporated in the project. They even mentioned they would be interested in taking on a supervisory role of the site in the future.

===1. User - object interaction===
 
 
In the Orange Lecture hall we made several set ups which the users were able to adapt to the experiment to suite their demands. The set ups varried from comfortable to obstructive.
 
 
<youtube width="800" height="520" left >TJszqSiY_kY</youtube>
 
 
conclusions:
 
 
- Bigger effort made to have a comfortable seat.
 
 
- Diverse arangement of spaces, caters for larger user group.
 
 
- People sit closer to their point of interest.
 
 
- Person adapt to given situation.
 
 
- People only change elements when necessary.
 
 
- Difficulties changing elements embarrass people.
 
 
===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.
 
 
[[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.

The concept of having a changeable environment automatically is inherent to using new technique's. For this concept a concrete wall wouldn't work.
 
For the execution of this project a start was made with the exploration of possibillities.

It becomes clear, a large grid with small ellements will have the most options in it.
 
 
==''Elements''==
 
 
A first look at the elements already shows probably a single element will not be able to create all the different spaces.
 
a combination of element a and  d, seems the most rewarding combination.

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. This notion of changeable function creates the ultimate approach in architecture – the creation of space that allows for multiple and adaptable programme. Multi Programmable space

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.
