FLEXIBILITY IN ARCHITECTURE

[A]

“To create spaces that are more elastic and permeable to change”
- Burdett
 AIM

How can the deployable techniques help the spaces to change according to different spatial
requirements?
 WHY IS THE NEED?

FLEXIBILITY is an important aspect, because

The ABILITY TO CHANGE and be feasible for different circumstances.

[B]

OPEN FOR DIFFERENT USES

ADAPTING TO THE FLUCTUATIONS IN FUNCTIONALITIES AND FOR DIFFERENT NEEDS IN A BUILDING’S

LIFE CYCLE
 WHY IS THE NEED?

Freedom of space, through the space’s flexibility

[C]
 WHY IS THE NEED?

The same space can, through structural changes , be used for different functionalities TRANFORMABLE ARCHITECTURE
[D]
 SUB-CATOGORY

ONE OF THE WAYS OF ACHIEVING STRUCTURAL TRENSFORMABILITY IS THROUGH

DEPLOYABLE / FOLDABLE STRUCTURES
 USED FOR

1) MULTI FUNCTIONAL PURPOSES

TRANSFROMS rather than RESTRICTS,

ADAPTS rather than STAGNATES
FOLDED SEMI - FOLD UNFOLD

 USED FOR

2) SPACE SAVING – USEFUL FOR COMPACT SPACES

 MATERIAL

Wood, Steel ,CFRP are used

Out of which, Steel is more flexible and durable

 FURTHER OBJECTIVE

TO FIGURE OUT THE DIFFERENT POSSIBLE WAYS A

COMPACT SPACE CAN BE MADE EXPANDABLE

(STUDYING FOR THE WALLS)
