The studio intended to explore the potential of deployable systems of Origami and scissor mechanism to design, user-defined multifunctional space/product/interior architecture element, which facilitates or enhances the existing activity or user experience, within a given context.

The student engaged in understanding, analyzing, mapping, exploring the interdependent relationship between form, space, and function. The studio was divided into 3 parts. The first part intended to explore the concept of multi-functional spaces by understanding and analyzing the needs, aspirations, movement patterns of existing and potential users within a specific site. The second part intended to explore the deployable systems of Origami and Scissor Mechanism.

The third part intended to engage the students in the process of design development. The students explored the application of the deployable system to design a structure/ product that responded to the spatial needs of the user. It also aimed at understanding the working details for the deployable structure. The final outcome of the semester was an in-depth presentation of the working principle and details of the deployable system designed for a usercentric multi-functional space/product/interior architecture element.
