This is the type of thing I am talking about for my project, where one type of architectural element can become another and thereby bring animation and life to the building by way of movement. These for example, would change the look of the facade depending on how many balconies were open. It would be ever-changing based on the individuals who occupy the space inside...the architecture is being influenced by people and is never static.
(These are windows by a Danish designer that convert into little single-person balconies)

one thing i dont quite get about these balconies...why wouldnt you just keep it down? the view is better when it is open...so what is the advantage of closing it? am i missing something?
oh...i see...it is entirely open when the balcony is out...it is a door...duh...
thats pretty good...
so are you going to work at the scale of the hotel room?
i was trying to think in smaller scale, at least more interior-scale oriented than i have been up until this point. this was something that im. alluded to in our discussion, that the interactions could happen at a very small scale, ie doorknobs, even...
Juhani Pallasmaa: "The door handle is the handsake of the building."
Nice to think of a building that responds to touch, that the built environment and the self are in constant dialogue, informing, articulating, and redefining each other.
thanks for the quote...it's perfect.
i am going to look into more of his work and writings
