Movements

As an architect one needs to be aware of how structure, frames, centering points , movements and materials like to do and how they want to or  like to behave .

As architects we can manipulate this elements and push them forward to their limits.

 The human body is a magnificent piece o engineering and so much can be learn from it, starting with the frame also known as the skeleton it has been designed to be able to withstand its own load plus additional loads and be able to distribute them onto the ground much like any building by being able to withstand live and death load and transfer the load onto the ground.

 The fabric/material of which the body is design from very strong cavities such as the cranium that allows maximum protection of delicate organ (the brain)...

 Another example of is a much more flexible/ elastic cavity such as the thorax that allows protection of the visceral organs but at the same time allows expansion and contraction of the cavity allowing the lungs to expand and contract. This is possible  by the mix of fabric/material  within the skeleton... ccartilage and bone at that particular section of the body.

Other features of this amazing machine is rotation, extension, contraction movements. This particular exercise  allow us to examine a movements and map how the anatomy of the body changes and adopts a new shape in order to let this action take place. A simply hand shake once is analysed can be brake down into a series of anatomical changes that the hand undergoes.
