narrative and stroryboard


In this video I want to show how kinetic structure in the machines is learnt and applied in architecture. I tried to show this process by telling a story of a stick. Let’s call this stick “Little A”.
“Little A” was originally a mechanical element in a machine. It was working properly in this machine until one day, there came a rock to the machine that caused “Little A” dropped out of the machine.
It was rolling and rolling and came to industrial construction site. “Little A” saw there were a lot of cranes and excavators on the site and like the kinetic structure very much so it called its mechanical element friends together to form this structure. A pair of leg is formed which can also be folded and extended.
“Little A” then walked along the site and saw a man holding an umbrella. “Little A” wanted to learn this structure so it formed an umbrella frame and a foldable cover matching the frame.
“Little A” continued walking and felt lonely so it cloned itself a lot of times to walk together. “Little A” folded its structure to become smaller.
It began to rain when “Little A” walked into a park, so “Little A” extended its huge umbrella to become a temporary shelter. People around all gathered under the shelter. After the rain stopped, “Little A” folded itself again and walked away; looking for somewhere else it is needed.
This story shows the application of foldable shelters in architecture was inspired by the kinetic structure in mechanization. The foldable shelter is easy to install and remove which will not take a lot of place and time, and is also easy to maintain.
