001_ADID - ADAPTIVE GRID

In elaboration of adaptive surface behavior, the focus was to determine specific conditions of quality. Through parametrization of a defined primary system (the surface), a secondary system (the components) has been introduced in place. Since both of the systems are interconnected, the amount of deformation in the UV-grid of the primary system, would have an immediate effect on the organization and scaling of the secondary system. This allows to control the degree of function and effect in space.
To test the performative as functional ornamental aspects of the system, the decision was made to apply them on two distinct programs: introversive (space 1) and extroversive (space 2). The introduction of a secondary system, allowed to perform as 4 functions due to program requirements.
In example of space 1, the 4 functions of component logics based on
• light control (light apertures)
• storage of media (book shelves)
• resting zones (sitting landscape)
• view relations (between inside/outside)

The shadow and light relations were defined through the specific program (e.g. reading condition demands more natural light / storage condition demands reduced light). Thus creates an interrelation of aesthetics and performance (ornament and function).
In a scenario of testing the quality of light in a sitting landscape, the need of a better reading condition, performed as a changing factor in geometry of apertures.
All other conditions or aspects of function have been handled In the same fashion of interrelation and aesthetic performance.

As a result of the endeavor, introversiveness in an intimate room as e.g. in a library, less vistas and more calm and atmospheric conditions are suitable which are carried by all the layers of systems.
Whereas extroversiveness in an open room as e.g. in a cafeteria, direct view relations a modulation of light and a geometric support of communication (group of chair/tables opposed to individual sitting elements) were required.

In both spaces a focus of interest was also in handling specific ground to wall relations.
