This thesis explores a relationship between people and the spaces they share. It studies both living and working, and the accidental interactions that may occur from shared space. It is guided by concepts laid out by Charles Taylor, which questions the overestimation of individualism in the contemporary American culture. It is a response to a philosophically driven notion that humans have a need to exist in relationship to each other. Subsequently, it responds to the secondary outcomes of this notion, namely the economic viability of a shared economy in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ultimately this thesis will lead to a design of a multi-use building that focuses on the two aforementioned items: living and working. These will translate into architecture as co-housing and co-working. |
