"SPACEBOOK"
Spacebook: (where) everybody can see the activities on the site, the users can join activities that are or will be taking place, create their new activities and (physically) link them with other activities. A new activity hive is born.
USER INTERFACE
GEOMETRICAL ALGORITHM
KINETIC STRUCTURE
Structure Concept
A grid of points drive a network of inflatable "bubbles" linked together by a network of valves.
The bubbles hold the roof & floor system.
One of the point-bubble inflates. The local bubbles deflate.
Roof has desired height. Roof locks into place. Bubbles equalize and support the elastic floor.
Possible section of created "site". Various open / closed spaces for activities.
Axonometric result.
Iteration 1.
Iteration 2.
Several elastic connected panels, which offer straight areas f. e. seating,...
Spatial room-quality.

Inflatables
The use of inflatable units assures the system to be very light and to profit of the possibility of using the lowest amount possible of materials. Furthermore the presence of “air-chambers” as gigantic bricks give to the structure good values in terms of acoustic insulation. The different positioning of the inflatable’s unit and their different transparencies create a porosity that helps the structure to mimesis with the surroundings and to profit of the natural light.
