ADAPTIVE ENVIRONMENTS: SPATIAL ADAPTATION BY RECONFIGURATION

Abstract

Space Crunch”  is a daily struggle in the life of majority of Urban Dwellers, more so for growing families to which they either respond with unique design solutions or compromise. Internal non load bearing walls occupying valuable floor space is one of the reasons contributing to this “Space Crunch“. Thereby necessitating a study to explore transformations on the

Wall plane. This paper is a study of reconfigurable systems both on the wall as well as roof plane leading to an apt design solution for Reconfigurable, Internal Modular space dividers in Tensile Fabric. The paper would finally conclude with a conceptual design solution answering the “space crunch “ issue enhancing functional efficiency of residential dwelling units with changing occupants.
