Designing Buildings for Current and Future Personalised Micromobility Through Exploration of Kinetic Architecture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The project explores the current and future personalized micromobility, focusing on the integration of design elements that cater specifically to users. Focusing on delivery scooter drivers as current micromobility users providing them shelter, resting areas as recharge center for their electric scooters, emphasizing the importance of accessibility and functionality. There is also an aspect of a speculative time frame in the future where everyone will be on wheels as urban landscapes evolves, therefore the transition from conventional fuel-based large vehicles to smaller electric and personalized micromobility necessitates a reimagining of architectural spaces for these users. Central to these personalized micromobility environments are ramps, which serve not only as vital infrastructure but also as opportunities for designing multifunctional dynamic spaces within a building by exploring kinetic architecture as means to address these challenges, leveraging kinetic movements to generate energy and counteract the static nature of architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
