candice‘s room- scale shifting spacial experience drifted by emergence

The project is now working on the EMERGENCE theory.  And this room is showing the scale shifting spacial experience drifted by emergence.  The room is separated into two parts, however,  emerged by same material and elements. From left to right, all the elements are increasing the scale and this shows the scale shifting ideas in the theory of emergence.  Another interesting thing in this room is the modulus cubic unit wall connecting by glass tubes.  It means the definition of the emergence, small inert things gathering together to create a smarter thing.  Apart from this, it is the reference for space as well that makes the scale shifting more visible. The extending cubes outside the room are the different layers of the building structure. From the video, it shows the sequence from seeing the light to the switch, electric cables and boxed, bricks and the structure inside the building.

This is the mechanism inside each wall which grouped and transformed by the electronic system inside the wall. And this allows the building to shift the scale.
