Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2001.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [88]-89).
Research into the creation of a Variable Volume Architecture is explored through a series of proposals and projects. An argument is established to develop the means and methods of achieving an architecture of transformation. The basis for developing such a stance is substantiated and clarified with the act of probing into constructs of various scales. The design and manufacturing of a full scale prototype is explored to bring bearing on the physical resolution of the proposal. The device is an acknowledgment of potential applications and uses. The material, spatial, and structural nature of the propositions are articulated and examined throughout the investigation. The morphology of the concepts presented is derived to bring clarity to issues towards an endeavor for creating a responsive architectural landscape.

<Abstract>Research into the creation of a Variable Volume Architecture is explored through a series of proposals and projects. An argument is established to develop the means and methods of achieving an architecture of transformation. The basis for developing such a stance is substantiated and clarified with the act of probing into constructs of various scales. The design and manufacturing of a full scale prototype is explored to bring bearing on the physical resolution of the proposal. The device is an acknowledgment of potential applications and uses. The material, spatial, and structural nature of the propositions are articulated and examined throughout the investigation. The morphology of the concepts presented is derived to bring clarity to issues towards an endeavor for creating a responsive architectural landscape.</Abstract>
