Work | Be Fond Of

Leading by Peter Stasios

When technology and capitalist desires blur the boundaries around us, we messily bring the pressure from work into the leisure process, and the thoughts of enjoying leisure also disturb the concentration of work. Day vs night/consumption vs production/life vs work, these clearly opposed conditions are merging into complex but contradictory forms, multiple functions stacking into one simple space had blurred gradient of consciousness. Our actions need to be unified with the space we are in order to have sensory distinction, self-discipline, and belonging. There needs a termination and clear boundary to each of our actions.

The complexity of the contemporary city requires radical sobriety of form, which the post-industry city is no longer defined by form but by space. Indeed, activities have the potential to function in a different temporal pattern to each other. And an office structure is not only made up of cells and covered by an aesthetical shell. Based on the above, the project hopes to propose a new office typology by using the theoretical references and approach that critiques the current city structures, and also the work and space relationship in the present city.
