What spaces are needed?IMAGINE:Students undertake to explore the

development of the human heart through dance using robotics interacting with medical imaging of heart embryology, a living heart grown from stem cells and 3D printed hearts as various stages of development and at various scales serving as set and scenery in their performance which will be simultaneously live-cast to the world.

• Versatility – what else can they space do?

• Adaptability – how does the space change?

• Occupancy – private, public and shared?

• Proximity – what spaces are nearby?

• Connectivity – what connects and extends this space?
