Pop-Up Display- Rudy Spiridon

In this phase of the research, I adapted the previous project's moving relationship between a "moving object" and an enclosed surface into a pop-up display. 

The pop-up shop is composed of three primary surfaces, each with a different degree of inclination, and openings that vary in height respectively. 

The "moving object" in this case is designed with three different geometric endings, each representing a different lighting fixture (see the bottom, and second from bottom images) that are able to plug-into any of the three openings of the shop's surface.

To allow this device to move from one opening to another, canals with identical cross sections are articulated in the envelope to guide this motion.

The moving device's different shape-endings -while geometrically distinct from each other- maintain edges that are adjacent to the canal's cross section. In doing so, the canals maintain a reduced and uniform expression in which the moving device can move freely irrespective of its orientation. 

the canals have a shared meeting point at the roof of the display shop, a "buffer zone", where the moving device can be reoriented before continuing its path to an opening.

When users enter the display shop, they are able to evaluate each lighting fixture (represented in the different "endings" of the moving device) from every opening of the enclosed surface. The latter's primary surfaces (as described above), have different degrees of inclination, and the opening within each is at a different height; this allows an evaluation of any given lighting fixture from varying set-ups.
