Connectivity

The grandest, most functional building in the world is useless without connections. Good buildings have their connections designed around them, while great buildings are designed around their connections.

Connectivity is the integration of a structure to its environment. As our structures get more sophisticated, so do our methods of integration. Our cities are constantly evolving, while our needs change with them. Connectivity can be something as simple as a front door, to a complex network of walkways, roads and tracks – a multimodal system. Connectivity is a driveway, a loading dock, a door, a bridge, a tunnel, a railway station or a fiber-optic cable, a power cable or an RDF transmitter. Connectivity is also the sewage system, the power transmission.

While a building can be defined by its function, connectivity is what validates it.
