CANDY CAMPUS

Due to the low rent cost, the need for jobs at Broadway Junction and the easily transportation access, we decided to bring 50,000m2 of office to the site. Because it is such large amount of office space, we decided to re-think office space and the working environment in this square footage. Designers have been trying to make offices great again by designing open floor plans and creating spaces that encourage collaboration. However, we are thinking of incorporating “candy programs” throughout the offices. These “candies” improve office moral and encourage continuing education. Because the site is a transportation center, yet has many parts that are dangerous for pedestrians, we created a second ground that grows with the infrastructure, but supports pedestrians in a similar way that the tracks support the trains. It is important that this platform is public and used by the local neighborhood citizens, as well as employees at the site.

OASIS

In the very near future, with the development of computer and digital technology, the tight between people and digital device will become stronger and stronger. Monitors, VR glasses, and the cellphone will dominate human's life at that time. On the other hand, people will meet the problem that they will not have insufficient contact with nature.
