Siza's Morphing Serpent

In 2005 architect Alvaro Siza created London's Serpentine Pavilion, a temporary structure in the heart of London. As a personal project I endeavored to take this beyond its simply ephemeral qualities and began to wonder... what if the pavilion responded to its inhabitation and thus became a useful tool for public space design? What follows is a hypothetical result of such a structure.

Below you will find 3-D renderings of Siza's pavilion. Made of interlocking pieces of wood with glass on its perimeter, it is simultaneously phenomenally and literally transparent. Here we have an image of initial inhabitation. The diagram underneath shows a plan view.

Slowly, the Pavilion begins to shift on both its axes to allow maximum light where people congregate the most. As more people inhabit the space, its shifts create and ever-evolving atmosphere.

Until finally when we compare the initial structure with the final structure they seem almost completely different entities.

Funny enough, as more and more people inhabit the space, it becomes less and less of a structure. What implications might this have on public space design or architectural and engineering technologies? Would you like to visit a space like this? I can easily see myself bringing hoards of people just to create gaps and then spreading ourselves throughout and absorbing the changes in atmosphere that take place. What about you? Please let me know what you think!
