AUTHOR POD CONCEPT A MIX OF AN OFFICE POD FOR AN INTROVERT AUTHOR & A OPEN LIBRARY FOR THE SOCIETY
SITE
PARK
MALL
THE SITE THAT I CHOSEN IS A MALL THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER EXPANSION AND IT COMES WITH A PARK. THUS, I COME OUT WITH AN IDEA OF MAKING A POD THAT IS MOVABLE BETWEEN TWO SPACES - IT CAN BE EITHER PLACED INDOOR OR OUTDOOR. MOREOVER, BECAUSE THE SITE CHOSEN IS A PROPERTY OF S P SETIA GROUP, THEREFORE THE POD IS ALSO A LIBRARY ON THE OUTSIDE TO ACT AS AN ATTRACTION SO THAT THEY OWNER OF THE MALL ALLOWS THE POD TO BE PLACED IN THEIR PROPERTY.
CLIENT Susan Cain
FUNCTION

THE POD FEATURES AN OFFICE SPACE DESIGN SPECIFICLY FOR AN INTROVERT AUTHOR. AT THE SAME TIME, IT CAMOFLAGES AND WORKS AS A OPEN LIBRARY ON THE OUTSIDE.
