Dynamic spaces in architecture transform the spatial quality by transforming itself through its envelope and the elements that make that very space. The project consists of a kinetic folding and opening door introduced at a workshop pavilion proposed at the Druk White Lotus School, Ladakh. The door enables the creation of shaded spill out spaces for children to work, protecting them from the harsh sun rays, emphasizing on the idea of learning beyond the limits of a classroom. The mechanism of the door is made interactive for the students by using a gear interlocking mechanism operated by a wheel.
