FRAMEWORKS AS A TOOLBOX.

The structure is seen as a framework with a set of necessary spaces (tools) required for the proposal. Taking inspiration from the work of John Habraken a Support and Infill method is used.

Support refers to the post and beam structural grid, the vertical circulation, the meeting room and the workshop. These are the bones and the necessary spaces required for the proposed processes.

Infill refers to the rest. This may be in the form of apartments, laundries, rubbish areas, bike parks, shops, offices... the list goes on. The infill is what is most susceptible to change. A toolbox of spaces for the repeated voids of the support structure allows an adaptable architecture and the necessary spaces for a range of architectural solutions.
