harbour devices
a series of study models, which were
influenced by the found mechanisms in
the harbour area, were used as a kind
of research tool. they were analysing
the potential of the mechanic / kinetic
structure of port facilities like
bascule bridges, landing stages, cranes
etc.
 
based on the technical inquiry an abstract
model was developed to explore the relation
between the mechanical and spatial
performance. this machine constantly
reconfigures the space as an architectonic
reaction to the shifting conditions of the
urban and maritime environment.
