Development of Design

I want to use darkness and the manipulation/controlling light as the starting point.  It could be that the entrance starts off light but quickly becomes dark as the avatars walk through.

Instead of creating spaces which are separated by things like doors, I want the separation of space to be created through the main structure itself and for the change of transition spaces to be created with the flooring being reactive.

In order to manipulate light depending on orientation and time, I thought than a way of doing this could be using a louvre system which is reactive and will change the systems orientation automatically or by sensing avatars.  

I have created a which can be used for the connecting planes between spaces so that the can appear and disappear in order for the colleagues' spaces to come together and form one level plane for meetings. The transition space as a quick sketch is shown below. 


This transition space will have two scripts one which reduces its size by 100% so that the two spaces on either side can come together and form one plane.  This script will take action when it receives the command 'merge'. 


The other script for the transition space will make it reappear as the size will increase by 100%. This script will work with the command of 'separate', where the merged spaces will then separate to once again become private spaces but still within the same complex.
