This project drew inspiration from the mechanics of a device from a previous project, its responsive nature, use of weights and interconnected parts. These qualities are integrated into the functioning of the building proposal, where various spaces are connected physically, constantly influencing one another.

The connected spaces are described as systems of spatial relation where a minor change in the occupancy of one can completely alter the position of another. By leveraging the possibility of changing envelopes and spatial quality, this project proposes an architecture that is flexible to the changing activities to better accommodate the programmes it hosts, namely an ecological research centre and a wildlife photography gallery.

Simulated scenarios of occupations are used to implement systems of spatial relation and choreograph meaningful dialogue between spaces, users and the Rainham landscape. The result is a building with moving systems integrated within its fabric that can constantly calibrate to scenarios of activities and occupations passively, ever responding with a purposeful outcome.
