THE [ OFF - CORE ]

Item

Title
THE [ OFF - CORE ]
Description
The [OFF - CORE] is a thesis that encourages us to imagine what the definition of [OFFICE] be like in
the future and how could the design of the [CORE] in a tower facilitates this paradigm shift.

Can an [OFFICE] be less solely about the free plan but more inclusive of different kinds of
workspace?

Can a [CORE] be expressed spatially and pragmatically in the foreground than being buried in the
background?

Can the dichromatic relationship between the [OFFICE] and the [CORE] get blurred?

Using Hong Kong as the testing ground and the IFC tower as the main precedent, the thesis
proposal is presented as a prototype sister tower adjacent to the IFC with the same dimensions but
displaying a new [OFF - CORE] concept for the future.
