PROTOTYPE
RELATION OF PROJECT
Relation to other atom(s):
Atom 8 is creating a structure that can incorporate many different activities but changes its appearences due to parameters related to (eg) sunlight, noise and user density. This could become an extension of the Spacebook structure system.
Relation to other project(s):
Interactive border is as a possible solution for Spacebook furniture
Flexscape is a possible system for a user adaptable floor
Relation to other developments on the site:
- Some of the strips will serve as a (covered) walkway for connecting the BK city to the Science Centre and the Botanical Gardens.

1:1 MODEL PROPOSAL
For the 1:1 model a small portion of the structure will be build: a fragment of the strip that is anchored to the ground.
