Sustenance - More Stop motion

The stop motion video shows my site which is near the Nokia building. The stop motion represents how instead of talking to others we will just text other people using mobile phones and connect with them through social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. We are now upon a digital era dominated by computers and technology. This made me think of how technology is somewhat similar to nature and that of tree branches and roots - it is always expanding and growing.The idea of spreading knowledge digitally through a sort of contemporary digital library design came to mind so i am in the process of designing this.

My idea behind my architectural structure i am trying to create is a place of digital communication / digital library that will bring people together from all over the world. It will be a building where it will incorporate moving parts and have a contemporary and futuristic feel. This will be achieved by having different levels and decks with some areas open to the outdoor environment and some enclosed.

For the design of the exterior of the building a form similar to double helix will be manipulated on the exterior surface. It will also have movable/adjustable parts like our DNA to represent how technology is embedded into our DNA. It will be made of metal and glass for transparency and to let light through.

Eyebeam museum of art and technology ( New York) 2011 Unbuilt

The Eyebeam museum is designed by the architectural firm Diller and Scofidio. I took ideas and inspiration from this museum that integrated the outdoor environment with the interior spaces. It provokes an architecture of cross-programming and inter-spatial weaving which is very interesting.
