Design Schematic in progress

Here are some sketches of my design intent. Exploring the relationship between architectural space and the manipulation of a fluid network, the underworld will explore the use of cells activated by syringes. Each cell will explore how space can transform through a series of movements within a structured assembly. For example some cells will consist of a series of enclosures that will respond to the switching of the train. As the train hits a contact line or grid, the space's dimensions will transform. These cells will act as a starting point, and as the cell evolves, in response to hobo symbols and train behavior, the connection between these cells well evolve as well. The syringe tubes and the fluid network will also become a structure component of architectural space.

As for the above world, the intent is to expand on a network of switches and contacts. The trains will extend upwards, and will come into contacts with a shifting conductive canopy. The canopy as shown in the schematic will evolve into to something much more, creating an invisible network. The main material will be mono filament, with select areas composed of thin wire. The canopy will move horizontally through the manipulation of tension straps to the ground plane, and will move vertically through the up/down movement of select posts, through the syringe mechanism. I wanted to explore the shifting of surfaces and orientation of planes in relation to the uncanny network created by the train.

I am currently working on sections through these spaces, to elaborate on some of the spaces created by this network.
