School of Architecture 5th year final project publication

As communication and information technologies continue to advance and become more prevalent in our everyday lives, the ability for people to work outside of a traditional offi ce atmosphere increases. The goal of this project is to look at these virtual connections and the blurring of boundaries and how we can design flexible, dynamic, and somewhat ambiguous space in such a way that users can begin to define how best to use the spaces based on given needs and programs – in this case office and living space. How can we design architecture that is indefinite and definite at the same time so that new relationships can be discovered how we use technology and the spaces in which we live and work?
