Friction

This project is designed to create an inclusive and multifunctional space for artists, integrating areas for living, practicing, and performing, along with a publicly accessible green space. The main objective is to facilitate slow movement and enhance accessibility through the strategic use of material friction and deceleration techniques.

In a detailed exploration of material properties and their impact on mobility, the project emphasizes the modulation of movement through the application of varying friction levels achieved by different material textures. These materials not only adjust the speed and sound of movement, offering a richer sensory experience but also blur traditional spatial boundaries to create a unified, open layout that offers multiple navigational options.
