Structural Fragmentation
Structural Fragmentation is a design approach in experimental design where a structure is intentionally broken into separate parts or modules that can move, shift, or interact in new ways. Designers use this method to explore how breaking up a form can create new patterns, allow for flexible spaces, or reveal hidden functions. In experimental projects, these fragments can be rearranged or connected in different ways, which helps designers test how people move through or use a space. This method is often used to study how light, sound, or air moves through a design, and it can help create unique visual effects or practical solutions for changing needs.
