Week One Esquisse 1: a RARE concept

The_Project
This esquisse is intended to kick-start off our semester with a short and sharp creative thinking exercise that will provide some impetus for you to start thinking about Project 1.

A key element of RARE Architecture the concept of ‘adaptability’. This esquisse explores ideas of adaptability in a most challenging way. Once teams were choosen, we had too think quickly and produce a model within a very short period of time. Esquisse ideas will be integrated into aspects of your design for the current design project.

Our group; Nic Fletcher, Andrew 'keg' Fincher and Andrew 'the spew' Fehervari.

The_Idea
The basic concept behind our design was adaptability and foldability(if thats even a word), through the use of intial concept, a chain of linked cut out people (see picture 1) . Basically our idea comprised of two main features, shape and connectivity. Thus, creating a sizable space with folding elements and using minimal materials.

With our idea well underway we looked at basic shapes to further our design and develop our idea. Our final idea (see pictures 2 &3) cosisted of pentegons joined together which would essentially fold back a smaller entertity.
