Super Ordinary is a M.Arch thesis (in progress—check out the blog).
The design proposal revolves around the creation of a multivalent community space in Liberty Village on the site of Lamport Stadium. The everyday actions of sleeping/dreaming, working, and playing that are segregated in the site's present condition are reintegrated through an architecture that is defined less by physical boundaries and more by the choreography of the people who use it.
A short theoretical abstract:
As the contemporary social morphology is increasingly defined by networks, a dichotomous definition of space as public or private is no longer sufficient. Boundaries—between work and leisure, personal and social, private and public—are becoming blurred, and the intermediate spaces between them have become increasingly significant as the facilitators of interactions and collisions within ever-expanding networks. Therefore, this thesis examines Michel Foucault's concept of the heterotopia as a place for reconciling the limitations of physical space with the dynamism of the space of flows.
