“Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” – United Nation. By definition, sustainability is fundamentally the controlled usage of resources to sustain for the future. In that perception, are we doing enough? How far are we ready to go? Which boundaries can we push, and which cannot? How many of that can be resolved by design or technology?

CONTEXT In an imaginary future when countries fail to accomplish the Paris Agreement to restrain dangerous global warming. In the 2100s, climate change then make societies suffer from the shortage of territory and resources. Conventional cities struggle to provide housing and service for constantly rising population. This happens naturally in a society-scale. When it becomes so costly to retain a habitable space in 3-dimensions, human try to make the most of their resources in the fourth – time. The 8/8/8 revolution is first applied in megacities in China territory: Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Many other cities and countries soon follow.

NEW MODEL People have fought to establish the current model of “Eight hours for labor, Eight hours for recreation, Eight hours for rest” since the era of first industrial revolution.
What if in the next revolution, people take turn to work, recreate and rest for 8 hour each? By that, a same area can serve up to 3 times of users in 24 hours.

of space and building resources saved in housing architecture
of space and building resources saved in office and workpkace
Compressing the human’s occupied areas also return the land back to nature and the environment like never before.
24/24 office also offers continous synchronization and collaboration of offices and organizations all over the world

It is fundamental that the 8/8/8 system can be adapted into current building design. The exercise above reflects these adaptation.

REFLECTION
FACTS
This uncanny time-shared model will radically transforms our living environment, change how people experience space, time, and the society. Future families may loose the definition we had about ‘home’, and every live has to operate on a strict, rational, mechanical predefined timeline. Segregation in the society would also be deepen, space-wise and time-wise.
According to United Nation Emissions Gap 2018 Report – that monitors the countries’ commission to reduce their global greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, “There is an enormous gap between what we need to do and what we’re actually doing to prevent dangerous levels of climate change. […] Technically, it’s still possible to keep global warming to well below 2°C, but governments will need to make much bolder commitments to reduce their emissions. […] And we have no time to lose.”
This future may or may not happen - depends on current us. The clock is tickling.
Doomsday Clock is a symbol which represents the likelihood of a man-made global catastrophe, factors including nuclear risk and climate change, monitored by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. The clock is currently set at 2 minutes to midnight (since January 2018).
