ABSTRACT

Motivation

Nowadays, as the economics of Melbourne develops stronger and quicker, people floods into the city with family. However, city has no more space to develop a new living space for new comer. Thus, developer always choose to demolish the old building and rebuild a new one. It makes the development of Melbourne become messy. In order to live in such tiny space, people could transform the interior to be more adaptable and fully utilize the space.

​

Context

Social: transformation within interior helps people to adapt into a tiny space within this high-density city

Life: Transformation within interior connects space and family together. Multiple groups of residents could even live in a space together by transitioning the interior.

​

Idea

A living space is a site where people spend most time with family, it is important to connect each other through the fluidity of space by manipulating space and function of interior.  By arranging the daily objects, an interior could be more creatively formed, combined and engaged, also opens up more possibilities. Any object doesn’t have to be at the place it is positioned. Thus, I think the key idea is to design a space for people to go through ‘making’ and ‘activating’ interior.

 

This leads to my research question: "How can transformative techniques affects the interior structure of living space?"  

 

Technique

I am interested in exploring different ways of techniques to change the structure of a space, such as through a series of technique based on idea of repetition. Techniques I have engaged in are unpacking, stacking, and folding to create different form of space. The process is documented to view on the change.

 

Reflection / Conclusion

Through this research, an interior space could be something more than what people see. Everything could be manipulated through the process of creating space and transformation of arrangement. Any object is allowed to be placed in another position in another gesture as the space function by how it is structured but not the value or materiality of the object itself.
