This study began with the hybridization of two complex systems. The hybridizing process created a primitive that maintained each of the original characteristics. These elements allow for docking and locked rotation on a lap joint. These two movements allow the piece flexibility. We constructed a module composed of ten parts. The module showcases the effectiveness of both the docking and locked rotation. The locked rotation allows the module to reconfigure itself without disconnecting pieces. The module was repeated ten times to create the possibility of human scale that can be reconfiguring into four theater types. The locked rotation allows for reconfiguring from theater to theater without the need to disassemble each piece.
