Bubbles in Structure
BERLIN'S CLOUD CITY
Cloud City is an imaginative exhibit on display at the Hamburger Bahnof Museum in Berlin. It’s fantastical and interactive. Upon entering, visitors roam through bubble-like structures and suspended gardens to discover the artist’s real intent. Tomás Saraceno wants to challenge architecture’s status quo. He was inspired by soap bubbles and spider webs to create this exciting exhibit which introduces new shapes and support techniques within the realm of architecture.

Bubbles in the Wind
Soap bubbes, like smoke are always changing in the wind. The change from one shape into another shape.
Change like Smoke
Smoke is always changing, one moment it is there the next it is gone.
The same is with the interiors of houses, they are changing all the time.
Taking this into my project, the showrooms in the houses can be as vapour bubbles, and the customer walks from bubble to bubble, or into and out of the changes.
The bubbles can be semi transparent, allowing a glimse and interest of what is inside, but at the same time mainting the privacy that is known to domestic interiors.

Walking in and out of change
The interiors of our houses are always changing depending on who is living there, this can change through walls being put up or taken away, furniture being brought in or removed.We are constantly moving in and out of change.
To demostrate this change in the furniture shop I am thinking of how people can walk in and out of showrooms in a way that they can experience the sense of advancing in and then moving out to the next scene - demostrating the gradual transitions the interiors of our houses undergo.
I found this mesh inspiring:

On-going Change
An example of design that shows on-going change is the outer metal cover of the People's History Museum. Is is made of Cor-Ten material, which changes colour over time. This is to portray how the history of the people has changed and conitnues to change over time.

Change of Plan!
This project needs to be something that will interest people to come and engage with and relate to and be interested in. Therefore, it's function and purpose needs to change. The new plan is to go back to the original idea od making it a furniture shop. Visitors who live in terraced houses will be interested in visiting a shop that is in a form of what looks like their house. The name 'ComeHome' is suiting to it as people go into what looks like 'their home' to buy the furniture for it. The focus will be on keeping the facade as that is the face behind which memories are built. The interior is always changing. Every person that lives or affects the interior changes it in some way. Every piece of furniture that is brought into the house changes the interior. This furniture shop can represent this somehow - it can show the changing nature of the terraced house interior and the uniqueness of every person. Show change through the movement of the visitors - this could become the concept.

A House in Showa-cho by Shintaro Fujiwara
I then found this example of a staircase that is very similar in design and has some good persepctives of the staircase to truly understand how it divides and connects the space.
Central Staircase
I was thinking how it could be possible to open up the house to using the basement and attic and to connect the spaces. I worked on a little model to see how this could be done. I placed a staircase going through the centre of the house that illustrated how the space can be divided, opened up and connected.
White Interiors
As my project will be a museum, I was thinking of ways to show how it used to look, without objects and decorations and painting them white. Using them as the 'canvas' there would then be projections on them of images and videos of what life may have looked like back in the 19th and mid 20th century.
These are some white images that show well what I had in mind.
