Swaying Fixed Point - Is it possible to think of architecture from the perspective of a structure in which bodily sensations are the determining factor? In this architecture, we started by thinking separately about the structure that bears the horizontal force and the outline of the building, without making the optimization of the preceding form a proposition of the structure. In the end, we created a structure in which a thin rectangular frame that defines the living area wraps around a spine-like polygonal framework placed in the center of the space. Both act as if they have separate intentions while influencing each other.
