Reconfigurable chart capabilities,
Artificial intelligence shows the ability to perform successive iterations with good results,
However, space planning design takes up significant portions of a designer’s time.
The organization of the elements within the space determines the flow of movement and views,
and to a large extent determines how they are used.
But stifling the use of the environment may not work for all cases, and given space constraints or the complementary uses a room can have,
Some architects have developed dynamic layouts that have more than one potential use.
Whether by dividing elements or special units, these projects allow the space to radically change through movement.
For the Livraria da Villa project, architect Isai Winfield has designed a monolithic volume that appears to rest on slender bookcases.
The four sections pivot and the shelves open perpendicular to the street.

And at Garoa’s Wish21 School, the open space of the pre-existing shed includes movable panels,
and foldable furniture that allows maximum flexibility of space for the most diverse educational activities possible.
Architects try to approach floor plans as an area made up of areas of contraction and expansion, where there are boundaries,
They are weak, allowing and encouraging transcendence, stimulating imaginative possession,
and understanding children as active subjects.
In another unit of the same school, Garoa developed a more radical layout, with furniture designed in the form of metal sections,
Centered around a central point, it allows for an infinite range of spaces.
It is also possible to create a large integrated space from separate small rooms, by rotating the elements.
It is possible to choose different paths, different interactions, to get from one point to another, choosing what to find and what not to.
The Porto Educação project, designed by numa arquitetos, uses a similar solution,
Through the use of shelves to form dynamic spaces.
The project was proposed as a large square that could be transformed into three independent rooms through the manipulation of hinged partitions.
When opened, they allow diffusion to flow in place, enhanced by the continuity of the homogeneous light blue floor,
Which expands the learning field to the square, corridors and storeroom.

In the JC Architecture’s Taipei Museum of Fine Arts store,
The movable structure of the cantilevered shelves has spatial flexibility that allows visitors to view the ordinary gift shop in a new way.
Two sets of five double shelves pivot on the side of the space, forming dynamic display spaces,
But it also converts to stands and benches when necessary.
In residential spaces, it is also possible to find bold solutions for organizing spaces.
PKMN was able to create mobile units for an apartment in Madrid, with multiple intended uses,
A limited floor plan was dealt with.
The custom-made wooden units are designed as hanging, movable and convertible containers,
It allows to easily reconfigure a small space and meet the diverse needs of customers.
For cabins with a total volume of 11.27 cubic metres,
They are used as shelves and storage for shoes, household items, cleaning supplies, clothes, kitchen counter and bed.
Each unit weighs between 500 and 800 kg when fully filled, but thanks to the use of simple industrial rails,
It can also be moved easily with one hand.
And when all units are pushed aside, the kitchen, studio and bedroom are compressed,
He opened a 14.8-square-meter dressing room, a yoga studio between the closet and glass bathroom doors.
The size of each space can also be easily adjusted to the customer’s desire, with a sliding screen to provide privacy when needed.
A fixed room of 23.2 square meters makes up about half of the house, as opposed to the service areas.
Conclusion
From the above it is clear that reconfigurable floor plans save a lot in space, creating multiple possibilities in a limited space.
As we continue to spend more time in homes, it is interesting that spaces can keep pace with our requirements over time.
