Abstract Details

2015, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Architecture.
As cities grow in population and density there are major crises happening that revolve around how architecture is thought of and more importantly how it is used. One key factor to the functionality and viability of a city is the interaction of its occupants. These interactions, such as the sharing of resources, certain social contracts and diffusion/ sharing of intellect all contribute to the health of communities within cities. The population in the San Francisco has increased dramatically do to the Silicon Valley tech boom. This had lead to the need for new types of work spaces as well as major housing shortages in the region. This need has paved the road for new thought processes when it comes to designing and occupying these types of spaces. A city historically resistant to architectural change and zoning variants is now learning to adapt and evolve to suite need for a higher urban density. The city is in need of an innovative approach to achieve this goal. This is a city/ large community that prides itself on the value of the individual and uniquely creative people yet is still churning out “cookie cutter” offices and housing development with a distinct lack of flexibility. This statement is of course a generality and does not define all development within the city. Larger tech companies that are located in the city are embracing new ideas about work spaces. Part of the problem is that Secondary to this goal, is exploring how these concepts can benefit not just this designated slice of the industry but how they can be applied to the rest of the pie as well. A natural antonym to the place in which you conduct your business or work is a place in which you dwell. Exploring how the concepts of transformation and interaction can also be applied to a housing portion of the project with hopefully help to maintain balance. This is about defining a culture and transforming the expectations of young creative urban professional of what work spaces and housing should be in the next era.
