Esquisse 1: A RARE Concept

Project 1 will focus on the redesign of the portable classroom building with the aim of presenting a final proposal that could not only improve the learning and spatial environments of the user/s but also have the potential to become an environmentally friendly alternative for the future.

The RARE exercise focused on the 'adaptability' of space through the modes of folding, inflating, hinging, stacking etc. of materials. The project was challenging and explored methods of folding and expanding materials to adapt to different spatial conditions. The exercise was also effective in kick-starting ideas for the rest of the project through contemplating folding/modular units for our redesign of the Mod 5 portable classroom.
