Aluminium is durable and extremely flexible, it is corrosion-resistant and 100% recyclable guaranteeing virtually unlimited design potential making it a perfect material for architectural exploitation

To contrast aluminium’s sleek and durable nature an open-cell-foam was incorporated, creating a system whose global performance varies significantly from that of its individual constituents. In order to gain full control of the formal capacity of the system a material-intrinsic modulation was imposed. The modulation consists of a single-point compression mechanism that varies the systems global surface articulation and height thus adding a parametric aspect to it.
 

In an attempt to exploit Aluminium’s intrinsically outdoor-prone characteristics speculations on climate-based performance are at the forefront of the potential applications of the system. Rainwater collection, Natural Ventilation mechanisms and Solar energy harvesting are all potentially viable solutions.
