SCALE FOUR: SLIDING COMPONENTS. [2]

The three components have been developed so as to include a series of lips and recessions that meant that when the top piece is pulled it pulls the piece below it and the fixed bottom piece limits how far the upper two can travel.

SCALE THREE: RHINO MODELLING. [2]

using the existing wireframe pattern from the jewellery box to plan interior space of a retail fit-out.
a series of interlocking panels constructed from frosted glass or acrylic plastic will provide an undulating surface into which the bottom half of the previously designed jewellery box will slot. this will be mirrored on the ceiling with the lids of the jewellery box thus leaving a ribbon of space between the two which would be glazed in a single pane of transparent glass. Occupation would be within the central void with access being gained between the 'purple' and 'red' layers in the above images.This is form i can imagine could function as a temporary/travelling display space that could be installed both inside or outside and when lit would then influence the appearance of surrounding buildings with rays of light and shadow being cast.  

details to be designed:
1. how the vertical panes interlock.
2. how the boxes slot into the vertical panels so as to create a single undulating surface.

exploring how previous components can be morphed into occupy-able capsules.

SCALE FOUR: DRAWINGS. [3]

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.

SCALE FOUR: DRAWINGS. [2]

Sectional drawing showing structure in relation to the ground plane (mid-way up its height). This allows travel both above and below ground, the later of which i envisage would lead to an underground train system or something similar. The upper half would act as a lightwell to the spaces below.

SCALE FOUR: DRAWINGS.[1]

A2 drawing over previous exploded jewellery box. To be considered as a form of vertical transport with some components being fixed and others acting as elevators. These are connected in a spiral motion by what could be a series of staircases or escalators.
