suckerPUNCH: describe your project.

johnny LIN, david ETTINGER, + adam FENNER: the project develops a fluid architectural language in concert with radical structural and mechanical systems, space and mechanisms co-evolve. while developing a coherent fusion with a diversified landscape, the fluidity of the architectural form also comes into a relationship with the fluidity of the interiorized environmental conditions. literal mass runs in parallel to thermal mass. the radical pragmatics of the building systems simultaneously operates as the spectacle of the casino. mechanized bladders expand and contract with the daily fluctuations of atmospheric pressure at the site. allowing the building to inhale and exhale once per day. in addition to developing controlled environments through alternative means, the micro climates extend the range of sensations to the extremes of experience.
