Behaving architecture –
An architecture that develops its own behaivour – is being investigated by the Danish scientist and architect mette Ramsgard Thomson. She understands our built environment as a dynamic space of exchange and communication, and her work investigates how architecture can be thought, designed and realized as a responsive system that can relate the “behaivour” of its walls, floors, and ceilings both to changes outside and also to its internal environment.
Slow Furl
The entire space is enclosed in an elastic surface, a robot membrane. Visitors can touch it, or sit admist the soft walls. Like a landscape or a cloud formation, the fabric changes and slowly and forms itself around the body of the user. Rather than merely “mirroring” movements in the space however, Slow Furl defines its own sense of time beyond immediate reaction.
The movement is influenced by the visitors, since the entire surface of Slow Furl is fitted with touch sensitive sensors.
Architecture “behaves itself” here more than it interacts.
Vivisection
The fabric “breathes”, “pulsates”, and “answers” to the presence of visitors. Vivisection is a “sensing space” in the truest sense of the word: the surface itself becomes a perceiving subject.
