NEGOTIABLE BOUNDARY
PROJECT Sensing: Control and Change |
The Bartlett School of Architecture
COLLABORATORS Zhu Lin, Anchal Shamanur
SUPERVISORS Enriqueta Llabres-Valls, Zachary Fluker
DESCRIPTION
This project identifies three complex entities that might negotiate in an urban scene (the public sphere, private sphere, and environment) with different interests, requirements, and initial conditions. Developed from the point of view of a designer, this project is started by developing an abstract negotiation model that would help us visualize the city's dynamics as a base to develop a more impartial and intelligent solution for urban space in an ever-changing city.
This project borrows the negotiation concept from the discipline of astrophysics, known as The Three-Body Problem, to get a more practical understanding of the negotiation concept. In a three-body problem scenario, each of those three entities has its own mass, initial position, and velocity that keep changing with time and is not arranged in a particular way. Furthermore, each entity is restricted in relation to the other two entities due to their own gravitational force. Thus, there is no way to coordinate their transformation.
