Architectural Furniture -furniture combining architectural functions

Toshihiko Suzuki

It is Fig.5 Interpretation of the case based on the categorizing of 4 operations that the above 4 operations are tested through some case examples of architectural furniture.
Several interpretations for one piece of architectural furniture are generally possible and one case can be categorized into plural operations; however, we present a main operation for each case.

It is Fig.6 Variations of operands and operators wherein concrete variations are deployed in operands and operators according to each of the 4 operations. It is possible to derive a program to generate architectural furniture by extracting realistic combinations from those combinations of operands and operators. The following concrete operation can be expected as practicable combinations, for example:

Operation A : Enlarge a table to partition a space.
Operation B : Provide a joinery with a function of bookshelf.
Operation C : Provide a partitioning kitchen with a movable structure.
Operation D : Separate a closet from architecture and place it in order to partition a space.
