Icewalker: Transforming Architecture

Exploration and design for the Icewalker architecture and vehicles. I really liked the idea of architecture that was collapsible or mobile - it seemed like a good balance between the semi-nomadic patterns of the Inuit people while also holding interesting scifi potential.

Also, huge thanks to Bobby Hernandez, Daniel Alpert, Sebastian Kings, and Lou Police for their help and feedback on this project!

Early 3d test, just showing proof of movement and function

Early exploration, testing out various ideas and proving that the function is possible

Exploration for a sled that can transform, both into a compact version of itself but also into a glider

Early test to show the various states of the sled, from compact, to long sled, to glider

This was an early attempt at the same idea: a transforming shelter with a sled vehicle. However, there were elements that I wanted to refine further, so I ultimately approached the idea from a new angle and made something I was happier with
