Metamorphosis is a change, a transformation from one state to another. This change can occur due to causes external to what is being transformed or due to internal causes, but more often it occurs due to a mixture of both, continuously.
Metamorphosis is a fluid process, it is adaptation, constant and cyclical. Everything we see around us transforms and even we ourselves are constantly changing, but there are also many things that try to go against this course, wanting to remain unchanging and static.
- Why, if metamorphosis seems to be so natural, are so many of the places we live in instead designed and experienced as static places?
It could be said that most homes, schools, offices, cultural spaces, public spaces tend to fulfil one function in one way.
- But what would it be like if we designed and experienced spaces by including a dimension of constant change?
- What would a metamorphic space look like and what could be given to it?
- Do metamorphic spaces already exist?
Perhaps we would need spaces whose purpose is not unique, whose possibilities are multifaceted, which adapt fluidly to a multitude of different actions and uses.
- How could we create such spaces?
- What concrete characteristics should they have?
