A form of movement

Sammanfattning: The aim of this thesis is to investigate if a deeper relation between form and movement can be achieved and strengthened with the help of digital tools. The work consists of three phases, starting with a foundation of interdisciplinary research regarding different theories about form and movement. These are then used as a broad toolset for experimenting with a physical proposal. In the second phase, a site and function is established as an arena for this experimentation to take place. This constitutes a cafe/study space in an old industrial building in Malmö, Sweden. During this phase a comprehensive folding topology is developed and executed with the help of parametric tools. The third phase deals with different ways of breaking down the form derived from the previous phase into smaller subdivisions. These subdivisions embody movement in different ways and are designed to generate several constructable outputs where manufacturing, construction, cost and other real world parameters are a vital part of the process. This project deals with continuity of geometry and material, altered perception and motion throughout different scales.
