Pop Up Library
by Sam
Concept design for a ‘pop-up’ local library box to be installed in disused retail units. Rather than simply focussing on the materiel of books, the solution targets programmatic affordance, with projective and interactive surfaces, acoustic treatments that double as re-configurable seating seating and high density book storage and ‘vending’.

The Switching Labyrinth: Installation
by Sam
A large installation constructed in a warehouse near Euston, London, in 2009, ‘The Switching Labyrinth’ provided a framework for two weeks of real-time interactive experimentation and observation. 250 metres of black curtains constructed a wrapping of pathways around a central ‘room’, where sliding curtain ‘doors’ periodically shifted, ‘switching’ openings to offer alternative entrance and exits. As an occupant navigated and learnt about the installation, it too observed them, learing about how it was explored and unilaterally modulating its entangling paths […]

Reflections and spatial fields in the Barcelona Pavilion
by Sam
The below diagrams are a taxonomic series in which we apply the methods described here and the spatial classifications described here to a plan analysis of Mies Van Der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion. Interpretation of these results is ongoing and discursive annotations will be added in due course. The mappings above were produced using a methodology established in the context of a research project on Dynamic Three Dimensional Space Syntax Modelling directed by Sophia Psarra at UCL. The project was supported […]

Digital Agents: Agent-Maze Ecologies
by Sam
Study of multiple generations of autonomous spatial agents progressing through a real-time reconfiguring maze-matrix. ‘Doors’ in this opened or closed depending on maze-inherent desires over occupation levels. Those that tended towards closure are illustrated as ‘walls’. Dependent on the desire sets exhibited by the maze, different ‘wall’ structures were observed. These can be related back to archetypal plan forms, suggesting an emergent occupational basis for common architectural devices.

Labyrinth Drawings
by Sam
Drawings which iteratively explore common simple labyrinth forms; overlaying each to illustrate how one type might be switched or folded into another. This process subjects the delicate ‘coherence’ of the recognisable labyrinth symbols to fragmentation, generating potentially ‘switching’ or momentarily incoherent maze conditions.

ArcAngel Dolphins
by Sam
These were recorded on a week’s sail from Falmouth in Cornwall to Milford Haven, Wales, via the Isles of Scilly, Padstow and Lundy. We were sailing northward about 5 miles off Lundy Island, spinnaker up under a southerly wind and making about 10 knots. A pod of about twenty dolphins came from all around and lined up to play on our bow wave for fifteen minutes or so. Five grown men were reduced to excited little boys. The minute we […]
