Abstract
Today, our city is developed based on a clear distinction between workplace and housing. This dichotomy reinforces the framework of the 9-5 schedule, narrowing down the possibilities of how people live and work.
The thesis proposes a prototype for collaborative living, within which work, live and leisure overlapped within the same space. Situated specifically in the abandoned warehouses, the industrial building is readapted into a new urban infrastructure which encourages the nomadic and uprooted lifestyle, so as to facilitate deterritorialization.
The design challenges the traditional definition of domestic space, explores a new way of how people live and work together. Rooms no longer have fixed identity, but being continuously redefined by boundary objects. Within the new homescape, architectural elements including the wall, furniture and roof are reshaped and unified by a dynamic mechanical system, in which the architectural elements regulate the dynamic balance between work, live and leisure.
