After surveying moments of adaptive construction in Christiania, the group turned to the palette of waste material in the hangar to develop spaces for partying.
            Music and architecture have influenced each other more than is often recognised in recent history. Two large movable speaker systems are developed, which use different frequencies to create vibrations and focal points of sound. Each speaker is a space which can be entered.
            Structured by air, a snake-like inflatable room creates a space for conversation inside, defining an edge to the outside.
            By dismantling a pavilion by the hangar, a skeletal frame is discovered. Dissecting it results in 6 buttress-like elements, which are reconfigured to create a hexagonal shape, reforming the material with a new expression. Sliced at each corner, the angles create the gesture of an opening. The roof overhang enclosed visitors closing the view line from the chest upward, with a tall hexagonal space at the center, illuminating the ceiling of the hangar.
            Combined, the three spaces were inhabited at the closing ceremony, illuminating the space and hosting conversations and dancing.
