Assemble- a portable kiosk for Ballet Hawaii

First Place Award- Interisland Terminal- Community Architecture, 2010

the fusion of ballet and architecture. this architecture exemplifies bodies in motion. intitially studies were done on dance and its affects on light, shadow, timing, color.

the profiles of ballet were drawn through space and time like a camera in time lapse to discover what shapes evolved through each movement. it evolved into an architecture that reflects the profile of a dancer through time.

often in architecture there are constraints which in turn offer challenges but they also present new opportunities and perspectives. this project had to be interisland portable and had a budget of $2000 for materials. it is composed of recycled sail boat sails and tubular steel that can bee easily assembled by 2 people.
