Personal Space

Defining Flexible Personal Space

Yu Gao

In our modern life, there is this increasing encroachment on personal space. Each culture and generation has had different types of definitions about personal boundaries. Globalization and urbanization have increasingly challenged and violated personal spaces.

This studio will investigate the intersection between defining/protecting personal spaces and usage of expandable/portable structure. It is an exercise to elevate students' understanding of spatial quality and the creation of quality personal spaces. The aim is to create individual or collective personal spaces.
