之前的項目具有清晰的壽命周期，著重在制造、裝配和時間環境設計方面進行研究探索。而本項目主要關注流線持續的時間活動性，并對其在當前建筑類型學中發揮的作用作進一步研究。本項目提出了一種新的建筑類型及其城市應用前景，以當今科技所能實現的更靈活的分散式機器人系統取代現有的流線概念。這項研究認為建筑物內的核心體式和走廊式流線往往是不太理想、被浪費的空間。通過將流線轉移到立面，產生了一種新的電梯設計，既可用作建筑的電梯，又可在街道上運行。在這樣情況下，建筑物不是以單體出現，而是形成一個自身連續的流線網絡，那么這樣設計的城市將會更加高效。使用連續立面作為建筑流線的基礎設施，在此立面上，大量分散式的半自動電梯能夠沿其表面在任何方向上自由移動。這項設計研究主要提出一種數字化設計方法，這種方法利用基于螞蟻算法的群體搭建原理對3D流線進行優化，從而提供一個與費雷?奧托開發的網絡相似的最佳最小環繞網絡。此外還為電梯系統開發了一種基于集群模擬的算法，這種算法結合了迪杰斯特拉研究的算法，用于查找多個地點之間的最短路徑。每臺電梯分別尋找與其目的地之間的最短距離，同時利用局部避繞和集群原理來確保在立面的有效交通流線。立面是動態運行的，可以從一個的完全開敞的位置（便于良好視野），到一個被穿孔金屬板完全封閉的位置（以便自動化電梯在其表面通過）。這些狀態之間的轉換，使立面一時充滿生機，為項目增添了定性設計價值。該項目體現了一種快速而高效的都市風格，盡可能減少離開一個空間到抵達另一個建筑空間之間的時間延誤。

The previous project’s articulated life-cycles that explored fabrication, assembly and temporal environmental design. This project focused on the continuous temporal activity of circulation and challenged its role in current building typologies. A new building typology and its urban potentials were developed that replaced existing notions of circulation with a more flexible distributed robotic system achievable using today’s technology. The research identified that lift core and corridor circulations within buildings tend to be undesirable and wasteful spaces. By shifting circulation to the facade, a new lift design emerged that was capable of operating as both lift-core and street. This suggested that urban design could operate more efficiently if buildings were not considered separate entities but formed a continuous circulatory network themselves. Continuous facades operate as the circulation infrastructure upon which a distributed multitude of semi-autonomous lifts are able to move freely in any direction along its surface. The design research focused on developing a digital design methodology that optimised 3d circulation using ant-based stigmergic principles that provided an optimal minimum-detour network similar to those developed by Frei Otto. An agent-based algorithm was also developed for the lift system that incorporated Dijkstra’s Algorithm for finding the shortest path between numerous options. Each lift independently seeks the shortest distance to its destination whilst employing local avoidance and flocking principles to ensure efficient traffic flow across facades. The facade kinetically operates between an open position for clear views and a closed perforated facade that enables the autonomous lifts to pass across its surface. The switching between these states animates the facade in a temporal manner that adds qualitative design value to the project. The project enables a rapid and efficient urbanity where there is minimal delay between departing one built space and arriving in another.
