We as humans learn and experience the world by naturally delineating that which we can and cannot manipulate. Due to the social limitations that come with public design, the malleable environment is virtually nonexistent in the architectural realm, effectively, separating the user from a sense of personalization, creativity, and self-inspired discovery. As we grow up we settle into this “don’t touch” and “do not enter” mindset until it becomes commonplaces. Rather than exploring our context, we simply accept it. This limits our full sense of place in the context and limits our sensual experience as well as binding our imagination, and warping our sense of what’s possible.
