the geometry of community
The human body is not designed to walk on straight lines.

The project has no corridors nor square rooms, but a series of curved partition walls that twist and turn making up different spaces in an informal way.

There are spaces that are more public and other more private but never enclosed, never with doors. It is a free and open space that invites people to move and interact with each other in a more natural way. The people gather around a series of "craters" on the ground for them to feel more as a community, as if they are all united in a single "hug" with walls that embrace you and allow you to move freely across the hole space. This gathering points allow people of all walks of life to share their wisdom and experience with each other in different work and communication spaces.
