Flexibility Plan: Work around fixed structure 2 main materials in construction: Concrete = Fixed Structure Wood = Replaceable •Design lends itself to a flexible set of buildings. •All of the main mechanical rooms, stairwells, and elevators are housed in the concrete structures •The wood structures house the current functions of the building but are subject to change if the function of the site were to change. Simple construction. With Structure House it is possible to redesign “in house”
