Ask more esoteric questions - like “How do people seep into one another through space?” This type of question will help you expand your site into something with potential beyond the office environment – it allows you to question it as a social and cultural space a space defined by hierarchy and various tasks begin performed – how the space contains and limit social interaction? Responding to these sorts of questions would let you be more imaginative and less focused on actual space constraints – you could look at Biophilic design and its potential to change space & interactions within spaces - it’s even used in office design

Ideas around Touch being a primary design tool for thinking about space and ‘Touch-down’ systems – could be extended a lot more by thinking more laterally – what if you had more plants – spaces separated by shadows not actual walls, the shadows would require lighting systems and could change as a the day changes – blue light for night time so people aren’t exposed to too much extraneous light, wellbeing by design… playing with ideas about touch and tactile design.

It was good to select a site you have a direct personal experience of – it gives you a real life connection – you understand how the space should and could work – but start to play with the potential of the space – you talked about Zones – make more of this idea - a driver for understanding space. Time zones for example – touch zones, social zones – conversation zones, work zones…. Your Site specific experience can be extrapolated out later on… connecting the office and the city… through surface, the tactile and touch
