"The Transformer Box"

The Transformer box is an idea that fosters the process of design playfulness. This game of ‘Transformer’ promotes the creation of something new and unknown through the alternation of design decisions between two individuals. Each mover inspires the next. Each decision poses a question. Design conversation is established. Through the reassembly of formal elements, based on fictitious means, spacial reality is created. This play between what was and what can be is carried throughout the design process. With each decision comes new rules, inspiration, and reality. A move is made and a space is created. A space that is as permanent as its ability to inspire. The kinetic character of such space is the nature of transformers. With each decision, a question. With each question, a new space. Let’s play.
