chain space

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.
