the Olympic Games, can function as a vacuum, a withdrawal from the generalized external excitement.

The user is interacting with the structure via motion . The generator is functioning as a parasite on our movement in the city. It can

be placed virtually everywhere, since movement is a fundamental constituent of spatial organization. It can be considered generic ,

because it applies to a level prior to the recognition of specificity.

The specific site is characterized by a field of surfaces and forces that govern the object, and now it has become the set of

possibilities at their interaction. Its presence alters the site, and when transferred, it has already transformed it into something else.

The arrangement of the parts actualizes a virtual geography of the site. The V-Elements respond to movement and can be slightly

displaced with the help of a spring at their base. Anyone can transform the structure with his movement. It is possible to discern

in this structure the idea of instant recollectivity , that is the temporary recording of one's movement on the physical elements

of the structure.

The structure is defined by its constitution materials as well as by a set of rules and design techniques. These allow for a configuration ,

so that it becomes a different but specific reaction to a given environment of movement, with every new installation. We integrated the

design techniques that define the structure's behaviour in a software , such that it would require the minimum input of data in order to

produce a new arrangement.
