flotopia a recreational spatial gallery that allows people to explore and remix their spatial experiences
concept
Architecture as we know today has yet to offer exploration and creative opportunities for its end users. Flotopia balances designed intent and creative freedom via combinations of static and dynamic free floating structures. Users can easily mix and match, indivualize and aggregate as they choose.
