flux // objects that make space

flux begins with the idea that architecture continues through the objects we live with. Personal items don’t just fill space; they shape it, imbue it with meaning, and transform it over time. This project scales that concept up, proposing eight hinge-connected modules that act as spatial generators. Each functions as a stage for daily life—supporting rest, work, storage, and circulation—while remaining flexible and reconfigurable. Designed to inhabit vacant shells like big box stores or theaters, the modules form architecture from the inside out. flux offers an open-ended system where space is built through movement, ritual, and personal expression.
