Kinetic Skin\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our pavilion proposal for the Fabefest 2017 is hosting a sleeping\/relaxation capsule that could potentially be placed in the city, responding to this year\u2019s \u2018pop-up city\u2019 theme. The tradition of living capsules is very well known from Japan. Starting from the Nakagin Capsule Tower an example of Japanese Metabolism by Architect Kisho Kurokawa built in 1972, to various more examples of capsules hotels, the concept connects with the country\u2019s culture about living temporarily and the relation to sleep. It emerges as a pixelated unit which can transform its interior space according to the user\u2019s needs. At the same time, the pixels can transform a foldable surface\/skin which embraces the capsule like a blanket, offering shelter to other users. The short fabrication and assembly time (5 days) and the restrictions\u00a0on materiality (cardboard) and its predefined\u00a0amount added an additional challenge to the design process.<\/p>\n
