maximize- minimize

In this week's blog I mention the minimum personal space and the maximum shared space.

1. The personal space as I mentioned before, could be minimize by the needs of :

- restroom

- sleep

- family gathering.

These personal activities can be described by the map below, which I show the general idea of floor plan where we have spaces served 1 person, 2,3,4... in a triangle shape.

The yellow color is the shared restrooms, therefore, people may own nothing but their sleeping area- which is one of the main point of this Utopia.

2. Maximize shared spaces :

In the old days, ancient Roman bath house is a very clear example that people did maximize the personal space ( bathroom ) into a public space.

In fact, we are living in the age when many shared spaces have been maximizing.

Example :

Personal working space ----> a complex of working area ( ex: Striip S - Eindhoven ) for people of different fields, working together, making productions, and selling them.

Strijp S - Eindhoven

I also added a hypothesis that we could maximize our kitchen into shared space, where people don't cook and have dinner at personal space, but go to a ''complex''.

Here we can choose the food in the shared space to cook (this works as a supermarket), the cooking processes can be done here in the shared kitchen and the ready meal will be transferred to dining area to be served.
