Exercise_02_Rules of Interaction

This exercise is meant to depict a narrative that flows from a typical Friday afternoon at work to a party scene at night. All of this activity takes place within a live/work unit that is constantly at flux, both expanding and contracting according to the mood of the two main occupants. This mood ranges in being static or dynamic and is also given a particular size between 1 and 3 (1 being small and 3 being large). The two main occupants are depicted through purple pins while the range of their mood is depicted through blue pins.

The two occupants were purposely modeled to have opposing personalities and thus, opposing moods. Therefore, the space tends to react differently according to each occupant. While one side of the space may be contracting, the other may be expanding. However, the space does react as a whole when the two occupants come together and experience the same feelings. This occurs when the occupants are eating, drinking, dancing, and sleeping in the same vicinity.

Overall, according to this model, the space starts to become a living, breathing entity that is constantly at flux with its expanding and contracting reactions to the occupants. It almost seems to be pumping, throbbing, pulsing like a bodily organ.
