A tiled system of 10’ x 10’ rubber flooring modules, slotted with an undulating topographic pattern, create a versatile environment for leisure. When flat on the ground, can be used as a dance floor, yoga platform, or event site. When separated and erected as pods, the modules provide dwelling units for siting, lounging and refuge from the elements.
The modular structure allows for access, reciprocity, and participation in the creative process, a situation that is referred to as ‘participatory culture’ . The public is encouraged to activate the transformation of the structure, allowing an ongoing invitation for possible architecture.
