In my design I’ve been looking at different types of kinetic architecture, Olson Kundig’s Chicken Point Cabin is an example of a kinetic facade. The building consists of one large glass facade that when a wheel is turned, the facade rotates and opens out onto the lake. I am very interested in how mechanics can be incorporated into architecture and used in different ways to create unique spaces. For my design I am having three seperate moving platforms which will be able to move to create different levels for different uses.
