Concept.
The design is based on a water-moleculeand makes reference to the the Japanese Metabolist concept of prefabricated capsules.
The project also references LAVAs project of Digital Origami, where flat elements are folded into contemporary 3-dimensional shapes. The base molecule can either be shipped as a flatpack, cut out of local plywood, or dropped of by a helicopter.
space:
The interior can then be carved out of wood or Cardboard or other locally available materials. The project plays with ideas of prefabrication and personalised inhabitation, as well as
stacking of multiple units, while giving an opportunity for individual expression on minimal space. Each unit contains sleeping space for 2 adults and one child as well as a little space for eating and reading.
fabrication:
For the showcase in Sydney it is suggested to CNC cut the layers of Plywood individually and stack them on top of each other. Lighting will bring the exhibit to life and almost turn it into a lantern, a sign of hope.
