Plan 1:100


Section 1:100

sketch model




sKETCH dESIGN


thinking of the pod to be a simple yet interactive piece of temporary architecture, I came out with this idea where the whole walls are created from these all square boxes which can slide in and out depending on the needs. By doing this, I am trying to allow people to use their imagination and creativity to inhabit this space.
The idea is that this block will be at least of 400 mm in length in order to provide flexibility of use. When it is pulled to the maximum, it will have a space of 300 mm, enough for a bookshelves, display or benches.

the pods will have frames for the square block to slide. the frames will need at least 100 mm in width.

the pod in proportion of human scale

it can be just a free space


or it can be a studio or internet hub too.



or it can be a mini gallery or performance stage.
thinking to use it as a gallery, it came up to me that the glass might be a disturbance to the art pieces. maybe by installing a drop down screen to block out the wall will help. but then maybe I should redesign the wall.

Function vs space vs human scale come as important. The pod has to be comfortable enough to fit about four to six people at a time (when it is open). And unless there are furniture in it.
