WHAT IS MY RESEARCH STATEMENT

If I want to create a structure that can represent one man's own space, I have to work on a much abstract level and imaginary scale.
Defining a personal space in design can sometimes mean 'transparent' but also very thick, very dense, invisible walls of air. This is the surrounding creates its own space, that usually stays invisible, is also an interesting perception of space.

Serially produced utopian concept buildings of a society... get alive.
A more comfortable environment is needed.

The structure I'm trying to make could be permissive by laying down an infinite gradation of movement and creating a most ambiguous, indefinite gathering of spaces that emerge both as part and entire form of that gradation.

The performative approach can be developed and transformed into an operative concept for spatial design. Through the movement the performer occupies and describes spatial volume at the same time. Since the body is a soft entity, the space which is to be transformed must be non-rigid.
By simply entering the building - an act that violates the balance of precisely ordered geometry. Architecture, then, is an only organism passively engaged in constant intercourse with users, whose bodies rush against the carefully established rules of spatial configuration. However, what if the spaces are produced through and by the interaction with the bodies. Then we talk about NON-RIGID SPACES.
