In a State of Flux: A Strategy toward Unfreezing Static Interior Architecture

Abstract

This thesis proposes to investigate and expand on the approach to Interior Architecture becoming highly temporal and the implications of this, for the interior. The world today is confronted with architecture building in a too permanent a fashion, creating monuments that in turn are altered, expanded, contracted, moved, destructed or terminated well before their life expectancy. The typical static form that architecture has taken in the past does not satisfy the changing needs of our present, dynamic society, resulting in interior spaces and envelopes that are frozen in time, and restricted to age old methods and aesthetics of construction.
