[  Kinetic Space ]  Raise the Roof - finalist   

2005

Kinetic Space revisits Kinetic Architecture with Non-Traditional Origami to create a house that is not subject to a static history or static future.  Kinetic Architecture will allow the creation of a house that will alter its

shape/space depending on the physical and psychological needs, not only of its inhabitants, but also for the general needs of the environment it occupies. Energy consumption, time of day and one’ creativity

are just some of the aspects that will create a form best suited for the moment.  Origami will bring in beautiful sculptural components that easily flower open or fold onto itself. Both of these traditions, Kinetic and

Origami, have been used throughout the history of architecture.  But with the use of new materials and the freedom of modern living spaces, these traditions are in need of revision.
