description: Through the placement of kinetic infrastructure in the urban fabric, an efficient solution to these issues will emerge, while also creating a more vibrant generative urban center. There is a huge influx of people moving into the city from the suburbs and require density, amenities that are within walking distance and vibrant urban spaces, which are lacking in most cities. In this thesis I have created modular system of structures that are that moves and used the structures to test various configurations that emphasizes urban activity and creates 24/7 spaces. I had created two types of systems to further test flexible architecture. By creating a more dynamic urban space allows for people to come together and interact.
