the chain rings get larger moving towards the north forming shared spaces and spaces for circulation.
the chain doesn't have to be a meter wide, it can be narrow lines of concrete forming an overall chain space.
here is a smaller scaled chain space.
the smallest frame in this study is 8m x 6m x 8m.
larger one is sized 16m x 12m x 16m.

in this model there is only one tissue type hosting 3 double floors dwellings, mirrored and duplicated again.
two of the layers can be seen in this collage, the front (southern) layer would be the white floor, the transitional space would be the gray floor in this case. while the front layer is an extension to the personal space at many points, slower activies are expected to take place there. the change rate through the day in this layer is less.
chain space is about the composition, collage of different type of rings, their alignments and their correspondence.
1. it starts with the most basic frame can be ever imagined with a dimension of
20 x 10m (floor)
2. before exploring the chain space, by duplicating the first element we get a space of
20 x 20m
3. to start a chain space, second frame is shifted 10m's towards right
20 x (10m x 20m) x 10m
4. second frame is lifted 10m up
20 x 10m, 20mx 10m
5. duplication of the ring at the background allows the ring at the front become a more important ring strategically.

a very basic prototype for a chain space.
this kind of interlocking spaces can allow litterally the tear down of certain parts and let them be replaced in time.
after introducing a third layer in the foreground, the frame of the space becomes functioning on both directions instead of a cellular organization like Kurokawa's Nakagin Tower.

a tissue can mean a group of rings around a central ring. the black areas should be seen as shared spaces and circulation between the units. personal spaces would be aligned inside the frames.
this is a previously done study in last weeks. these islands were randomly copy pasted at that time. they can be seen as the black intersections you can see up in this post. the rings can be wrapping these islands and function structurally at the same time.thickness of the frame
looking from south, on the eastern side of this tissue,
potentially the space is a public programme just next to the main road.
Instead of having two elements; the ring as the frame and the
floorslabs attached to it, i'm trying to have a more uniform,
continuous space.continuous space will let me not have circulation as a seperate element insterted into this configuration.
