For the class Advanced Digital Tools we designed a partition wall for the shared rooms at the Valldaura Campus.

THE INTERSTICE

A purposeful wall where the curve effortlessly transitions between its dual roles as a bench on one side and a shelf on the other balancing division and connection.

REFERENCES

We took inspiration from parametric wall bench designs made from wooden ribs. While the references are close to what we want to achieve for our partition wall, they are only one-sided, attached to an actual wall in the building. We want our wall to be free-standing and have functionalities on both sides. What we learn from the references is that the wall bench is made up of individual flat pieces, but overall they form curves in two directions.
