exits and entrances to buildings.
another architectural thing i was thinking about. exits and entrances to
buildings. a lot of doors out of a building give people more options for
entering and leaving a building, but it reduces personal interaction and
intermixing. someone who always comes and goes through the back of a
building might never meet someone who comes and goes through the front. i
dont know which is better. i kind of like the idea of more interaction, but
then i also like the idea of more freedom. perhaps something else could be
done to increase interaction while maintaining freedom. the idea of college
dorms is nice. where there are many entrances/exits but also common spaces
like lounges and laundry rooms. (and as i think about it more, when i worked
for the navy the coffee maker was one of the central places of interaction).
dedicated common spaces.
