    Phase A1_Architecture reDefined: Ubiquitous Habitat #001
    Ubiquitous Habitats hold a minimum of two criteria:

    1. Every point in space, through kinesthetic instigation, is a possibility for becoming a 'site.'
    2. Every site or 'tentative holding space' (Gins and Arakawa) provides limitless potential for the organism on/within that site.

    Applying this concept to architecture creates shapeless architecture which defines our world and which itself is defined by our bodies. The initial stage of this architecture is introduced in the form of a garment—an easily attainable representation of a larger scale of architecture.

    The process is a study of the relationship between an organism and an occupiable body—be it the I and the physical body, the body and architecture, or architecture and nature. Space is defined through tension and relaxation of an organism's movements. The movements and their resultant forms create new shifting organisms.

    The concept is in support of emergent architectures where form arises from natural pattern; and nomadic systems where organism and form are all encompassing, becoming one, and adapting to multiple states.

    Man. That book looks awesome. And the soundtrack for both is great. I love it.

    Thanks. Took a few really bad designs before I got to this version. I simplified the whole book concept by merging my thought process from this site with my process from working with fabric, and translating both unto the paper.
