The studio introduced the student to speculative approaches towards a design problem. The first sequence focused on questions of “interiority” and its relationship to the setting in which it resides (an existing building), and to its cultural context (program & narrative). Cultivating transformative logics of representation, students were encouraged to develop the project from the inside-out. The studio aimed to disrupt conservative logics of part to whole relationships and spatial composition by examining and materializing unexpected correlations between familiar objects. The studio embarked on experimental design procedures that involved cycles of making (analog) then modeling (digital), at various scales. The studio simultaneously conducted research on the history of the office and its trajectory to the contemporary workplace, discussed relevant cultural topics, and engaged in discussions.

The project was an adaptive reuse of a warehouse in the city. Students researched and understood the history of the workplace, from the autonomous cubicle layout, to the hypertechnological open office environment, to the current emergence of the shared office space that offers a hotel-like interiority. The studio ultimately argued for an object’s role in an architectural interiority.
