fragments/mesh/entangle...ment..../etc.

Beginning of new model - in reference to the last post.
I'm liking the direction I'm going in, although I'm not yet sure what to do with this...

I like the image of puncturing a mesh in order to go through it, to stretch and deform it.

I've kind of abandoned the idea of the mass produced modular home. It's giving me too many constraints where I would rather develop other ideas of the project.

I am still going to develop the idea of creating a space that can be folded/moved/stacked etc. like a puzzle to form a variety of spaces. No matter how the space will be designed, one of the main goals is that the home can be squeezed/compacted or taken apart to smaller pieces so that it can be easily transported to its next location. I also like the idea that one of the simplest variations this home can be is a cube or rectangle. At first I was hesitant to even think of using this as a potential form. However, when thinking of fitting a home within the urban or even suburban setting, nothing quite fits into these areas better than a 90 degree angle.

What I am also exploring is the use of a knots or tangling of material to develop space. I think the idea of this happening for the interior space, while the exterior form may still be a simple shape (perhaps still a cube? depending on the way it is "folded").

examples soon....

I like the idea of all the essential components of a home fitting into a small space/module. While this is an interesting, functional, and beautiful design, my issue here is the design itself. If I were to use this as a module that could be multipled or stacked, I feel that this example would be too designed. Meaning that every component of this space is built to a specific use - not customizable. So the question is: how can one create a module ( that can be used for one person (or combined for the use of many) that can be transformed to personal need/taste? Also, how can this be done without creating the typical cube-shaped module?
