Moving Element Development 

For the first moving element I want to create a roof that opens and lets natural lighting in. Spending hours in studios, lectures and working rarely allows students access to fresh air. I think it would be effective to create a roof that opens up to allow natural lighting and natural ventilation and perhaps the sense of being outside while being inside. 

I thought of the idea of a shell, that opens in a rotating fashion. The shell idea can be logically seen in Fibonacci's Golden Rectangle which explores the idea of the spiral forming mathematically in a set of rectangles.

Then I thought of Davinci's flying machine, as it rotates and lifts off, could be a similar technique in this case. 

  

So far, Ive just built a cylinder and segmented it and raised them to create this spiral/shell effect. 

Opening Wall/Balcony
For the second element, I have the idea of opening a wall into a balcony, using suspension technique. This could potentially be used for studio space, cafe or meeting space. 

Moving room/elevator 

Another idea, to create a room or an elevator that creatively transports or relocates the space.
