I remember watching a cartoon (probably it was Jetson.) with so many tacky things that were supposed to be 'futuristic' in the context, such as a little box transforms into a far much bigger thing. That thing could be a house, a spaceship, or even a whole new 'space'.
When brainstorming this project, I was thinking about building a module for many different spaces so that I could actually store them in my closet.
Each space captured in a same modular format which is book. In the center, there are also modular containers displayed in slot-loading type of shelves. Users always add or remove those containers to decorate the 'walls' when the book was open.
The reason that I come up with this modular book is from my work experience as merchandiser. Optimizing and maximizing the limited retail space to effectively display of mass merchandise was big part of merchandiser's responsibility. In addition, retail business requires fast, dynamic change of seasonal merchandise. This became my challenge and in fact, stressed me out many times. Whenever I had to change the whole theme for new display, my frustration grew. "What if there's pre-designed display unit in life-scale and I could actually store each season's display pattern in the stock room?" Back then, it sounded a bit too crazy to myself, one thing is for sure: I was thinking of 'modular' space.
