Motion Exploratorium
The Aim of the Research conducted was to understand the various ways in how Motion could be expressed in the built form.
In this context, Motion refers to the possible ways of making a structure look like it appears to be moving or is actually moving.
Background
Motion, movement, shift, fluidity etc. has been a concept I’ve not only been studying solely in Architecture but in my Art as well for as long as I can remember.
Along the years I started to focus on how I can make the viewer begin at one point and end at another in a still frame. My objective was that he/she would never see the drawing as one entity. The composition is what mattered and the flow of the form that would not just create multiple focal points but would be pleasing to the eye.
As my interest grew further, I learned that I had a keen eye for Animation, the whole concept of still images being changed in a rapid process to create the effect as if it were moving amazed me; Visuals in Motion.
Then the question arised, what if Architecture was played in a similar way? Or at least perceived to instil motion onto the viewer.
Static motion
The wave like nature of the facade transcends into the steps.
Illusory motion
The idea of a "tilted wall" creates an impression of the wall falling over the user.
Kinetic motion
The panels are responsive to sunlight thus changing their orientation at different times of the day
Form Evolution
An evident way of depicting motion is by the continuous increase in volume.
CONCEPT: AUGMENTATION -The action or process of making or becoming greater in size or amount (smaller ›> BIGGER)
Design Intervention
The world around us is changing rapidly which makes the role played by Architecture even more crucial as the days go by. Building Technology now plays an important role in not only responding to Climate change, but also increasing needs for space and flexibility.
