This project explores experimental fluidity in architectural form-finding through the generation of continuous, dynamic geometries. Curved surfaces transform the building envelope into a spatial system of balconies, openings, and recessed spaces. The study investigates the relationship between computational form generation, structural continuity, and inhabitable space. Rather than proposing a fixed architectural solution, it tests how fluid geometric transformations can generate new spatial and façade possibilities.
Concept
This project explores experimental approaches to architectural form-finding through the study of fluid, continuous geometries. The design investigates how a building envelope can transform from a conventional structural boundary into a dynamic spatial system, where walls, balconies, openings, and circulation spaces are generated through continuous deformation.
Rather than beginning with predefined architectural elements, the study focuses on the behavior of surfaces and the relationships that emerge through their transformation. Curvature, extrusion, folding, and variation are used to produce a façade that continuously shifts between enclosure, projection, and inhabitable space. The resulting geometry creates a series of irregular spatial pockets, terraces, and framed openings, giving each level a distinct relationship with the exterior.
The project functions primarily as a form-finding experiment rather than a resolved architectural proposal. Its purpose is to investigate the architectural potential of fluid geometries and to test how computationally generated forms can translate into spatial, structural, and experiential conditions. The studies examine the relationship between repetition and variation, geometric continuity and inhabitation, and formal complexity and architectural order.
The final iterations explore the possibility of applying these principles to a hospitality typology, where the fluid envelope becomes both an identity-forming element and an inhabitable extension of the interior. The project demonstrates a design process in which architectural form emerges through continuous geometric transformation rather than the assembly of discrete components.
