PHASE 1: “Through an endless rotation, the path breaks into two distinctive dimensions.” The purpose is to incorporate the theme of rotation and contraction vs. compression. In Phase 1, the idea of the shapes transforming from an irregular shape to a circle derives from the incorporation of specific elements and forms using spatial techniques.
PHASE 2: In Phase 2, there is a connection of shapes through the usage of wood sticks and topography. The shapes and wood sticks play an active role in illustrating distinctive themes set for the next phase.
PHASE 3: In Phase 3, the iteration was to incorporate two living dimensions in one environment. The rotational stairs and balloon element was inspired by the wood sticks used in the previous stage to integrate the act of compression vs. contraction. Users can optimize their experience in two types of living spaces within the same environment.
PHASE 4: In order to showcase two different living spaces within one environment, different materials were used to disperse the two areas. A mix of foam, clear plastic wrap and cotton were used to illustrate the theme of contraction vs. compression for the balloon in response to the materials used for the stairs.
