Crit progress

So I talked with Dermott about my idea and got some very helpful advice on where to proceed. He suggested that I look at mechanisms such as hinges, as I will be required to show a "material connection" in my 1:1 model. I could also explore the idea of folding, or aspects of the floor that remain static whilst others move, or some are "carved into" the architecture (thus stable) in contrast to those which are more dynamic.

Also, upon further research I stumbled upon the "Jenga House" by Sou Fujimoto Architects, which is similar in effect as to what I was hoping my design to look like:


I will also expand my current design to accommodate three floors per studio, a waking floor, a sustenance floor and a think-tank like studio meeting room where ideas can be gathered through group work in real life and via Skype. Finally I was told that we will need to have made a 1:5 cardboard model of our detail as well as a new "more polished" drawing, showing our design.
