Revision as of 08:32, 24 November 2011
On this part of the website you will find more information about the research conducted for this project. User behaviour, materials and references are some of the topics.
User behaviour
Bouwpub analysis
Intervention Analysis
In the Orange Lecture hall several seating arrangements were set up to see the response from people. The users were able to adapt to the experiment to suite their demands. The set ups varied from comfortable to obstructive seating layouts.
conclusions:
- Bigger effort made to have a comfortable seat
- Diverse arrangement of spaces, caters for larger user group
- People sit closer to their point of interest
- Person will adapt to given situation
- People only change elements when necessary
- Difficulties changing elements embarrass people

In this project of MIT, two pixelated layers are placed on top of each other. Pistons within the structure of the blocks are able to move up and down. This controls the height of the blocks.
This project follows the same theme of 'pixelation'. For the intervention in the park, there is a need to have both indoor and outdoor spaces. This led to the development of a new system design, where the mechanism of the block units are placed inside of the box. See system page for more details.
Advantages
- Highly pixelated which gives a freedom
- One actuator per piston
- Individual controllable
- No connections needed between units.
Disadvantages
- Supported by a framework, needs both floor and ceiling space
- Always vissible / present.
- Fixed movement possibillity's, in relation to the frame
