Dynamic Windows



This idea stemmed from two of my original verbs, "sliding," and "overlap."
These window panels can be moved in any direction, up, down, left or right and will overlap the window adjacent to it in different patterns creating different lighting conditions for each room's occupant. I imagine that some occupants will react to other's actions which will create even more movement, overlap and patterning. This is something that can be seen by the hotel guest from the interior of the individual room but also as a moving exterior facade where passerby can see the whole fabric. Also, some windows will have normal transparent glass, which will affect the levels of opacity and add to the drama.
This ties back into my thesis of the individuals affecting the way that the architecture looks, but each individual movement creates different window views which in turn, the architecture influences the individual.
I imagine that even if this is not a facade space, it could be rooms that look onto the bar area and affect that area.
Further exploration of this idea will include color theory, such as level of saturation as well as emotional response to color (cool colors might be a better choice)...
