Abstract
Architecture needs to facilitate and encourage movement, however, most of architectural composition is based on the at-rest body in space that encourages the body to stay at-rest, resulting in a static architecture. With advancements in technology in the office setting, occupants are continually becoming more sedentary causing a decrease in productivity and wellness. A dynamic body in space will engage new levels of movement creating a greater awareness of the architecture and promote the wellness of its users. Bernard Tschumi’s ideas of utilizing the “in-between” to create events can be built upon to engage the body in movement and provide opportunity for choice – a conscious decision of movement through the means of architecture. Through expansion of circulation in a typical office building, the Body in Motion will utilize the in-between space to activate the body, encouraging movement and wellness, and to activate the space itself.
