The beauty of chance and human imput.
A building should still be useable over time. Functions may change. Parts may be added or changed.
1. Moving Parts (Pivot, Sliding, Folding)
How often will these parts realistically move? Consider size, weight, difficulty of operation, mechanisms to operate, frequency of use, purpose of movement.
2. Grow (Additions over time, Hidden, Dissassemble-able?)
How flexible is an addition? How much effort and time is required for such growth? How much would it cost financially, environmentally, public confinece?
When is growth efficient and when is it not worth the cost?
3. Multi-use
How can spaces be used to their maximum potential? Is it managed by time? Is the space designed for different users and functions?
4. Customisation
User customisation. Cheap and makes spaces usable by personalisation. Paint. Furniture. Small changes such as adding dados and level changes.
5. Renovation
Keeps the building fresh.
QUESTIONS
1. What spaces are necessary? Is it necessary to have two chambers in parliament, for example? Can the space be flexible enough so that we only need one chamber.
2. How resilient is the structure/agent? How well does it adapt to changes (human, climate, economy)?
3. Who decides on what happens in a space? How can it be constantly activated to maintain vitality? What groups of people would it cater for?
