what happens when a building becomes an obstacle and people have to move around it? 

Part of this project had as a starting point the question of how space is divided into public and private and how that transition is formed. Can space really ‘manipulate’ peoples movements between it and if so how can space be maximised in order to offer potential for combined usage.
