patched space types
Patches are defined as nonlinear surface areas-in this case each
patch is a visual representation of a traced movement of the
body. The idea is to capture the idiosyncratic movements of
Danny's body (the residue) as he goes through his daily routine in
his dorm room (closed system). Then, the data can be used as a
seed (DNA) which can be introduced into the site (open system),
where it can engage and adapt to the surrounding environment.
Patch Typologies
Instead of a specific design proposal for future occupation of the
site, a series of loose organizational typologies are proposed.
Hybrid Programs
Four broad programmatic categories are proposed: rest,
entertain, cook, and work. These programmatic zones are
fragmented (distinguishing) and fused (blending) into another
creating a hybrid condition.

Skin
Depending on density and organization on the site, the hybrid
patches might function as: rest/entertain, cook/work, or some
other variation. Scale and density of material suggests possible
programs.

Development Cycles
Cycle Evolution
The idea is to derive patterns from Danny's daily bodily movements, or his daily routine. These 2
dimensional diagrams are translated into a 3 dimensional environment, 3d modeling construct. The
patterns of movement are then fused together to capture the subjects movement residue; the residue
is the result of an act of automatism by the body. At this point, the data is translated into a spatial
construct. The goal is to trap Danny's spatial idiosyncrasies and embed them into the construct. The
result is an understanding of dwelling as a fusion between a series of activies. Imagine the
movements of the human body blurring in space leaving a residue which fusses into the
environment.
