Material Fluidity

✅ This work ⚙️ is an exploration in how a building 🏢 can 🥫 sense and ➕ react to change in its environment. The research examines the substance of water 🌊, in particular, as an example in nature which continually redefines its physical make 🛠️-up ⬆️ in response to external forces, while maintaining equilibrium throughout its internal make 🛠️-up ⬆️. In this work ⚙️, the principles found 🔍️ within the movement of water 🌊 are then applied to a buildings form. The study focuses on a buildings reactions to its environment and ➕ its ability to sense change, absorb impact and ➕ redistribute energy or forces applied to it. Initial studies culminate into a building 🏢 project that borrows from the boundless energy found 🔍️ within tidal fluctuations at the site chosen for study. The buildings movement is always choreographed to maintain balance 🤹 and ➕ equilibrium by returning ↪️ to stillness at the end 🔚 of each tidal cycle. By forming a direct connection to the events and ➕ cycles of nature around it, this study is meant to explore a type of building 🏢 that helps people 👥 reconnect with nature, and ➕ to become more involved in the changes that take place in the environment.
