LIPS: Living Interactive Playfull Structure


Abstract

The project aim is to cause extreme experiences of visibility through spaces to entertain people. The main intervention of LIPS consists different functions and spaces in order to lead the behaviour of users.

The shape is defined by the behaviour of the organism itself. Regarding the structure, the organism is conceived as self sustaining and load-bearing. A three-dimensional system is used for this purpose: this makes it possible to make any flexible movement to express any behaviour.
