Of course, they need to do physical exercise regularly. After all, working without sports can harm their health. They often watch movies to relax themselves.

Flat-share young artists usually lives alone or two of them rent an apartment together. They spend most of their time designing and drawing, day and night. Sometimes they need a huge desk for their pieces of drawings. Sometimes they have to make models, so the house should be set up a spacious and maybe public area to place the models. They also need a piece of wall to show their works, which can help them to reflect on their own design process, progress and deficiency.

CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT HISTORY In the early years, the building consisted of a living space between two yards. When the corridor first appeared in the mid 17th century, it was only used to distinguish between the two systems of the master and servants' life and then became the efficient traffic streamline for the servants. In the late 19th century, with the influx of the working class, the corridor was used to split the different families and maintain the health environment. Later, the corridor existed in an extremely straightforward way and generated several enlarged nodes. However, after that, architects began to rethink and look for the oppotunities to interact, thus mixed the office and corridor space. In the late 20th century, the high-rise office building completely removed the corridor. The plan only consisted of the core tube and the public office space to provide an open communicating space for people.
Some corridors service only for circulation. CIRCULATION MULTIPLE ACTIVITIES Actually, corridor can offer as much functions as we imagine.

From my own perspective, the corridor should service for more than one person, which means the more people in the area, the more necessary the corridor is. Thus, the private living space does not need a corridor. However, as the development of the modern social life, the specified traffic function is not necessary any more. In the public space, the nature of the corridor should be blurred so that it can lead to more possibilities. Corridor should exist for more multiple functions, such as communication, exhibition and entertainment. Therefore, the corridor space will not be linear. It may have ambiguous shape and boundary. The corridor is considered to provide various functions for the certain peopel for particular occupation as well as surprises and expectations.
