Exploration into how the 'elevator' components connect and are able to move in relation to each other without simply falling.
One option is to make a more structural and mechanical appearing system where two vertical steel rods connected at their furtherest point with a horizontal rod act as a stopper when they meet the component below.
Secondly is the idea of layered panes of glass which slide against each other, a lip on the edge of one pane pulling the next into motion, much like a rock and pinion lift. This would allow the space to concertina open and closed all the while achieving a completely enclosed space. This would also increase fragmentation of the surface of the structure allowing more interesting refraction and shadow patterns both within and outside of the space.
