Abstract

The main goal of this graduation project is to create a feasibility study. The objective is to design, calculate and test different ways of how a unitized façade element can transform, rotate or convert for creating a temporary outdoor space. This façade element is connected with the same façade brackets used in the unitized façade system. The focus point in this study will be, façade fittings, profiles, construction (dimensions, movement, strength etc.), dimensions compared with the current unitized façade elements, practicality of the design and how much the design would cost to produce.
