Program! Program! Program!

First, I intend to design the combination of Airbnb and Portland Center Fair Housing accessibility. In the perspective of urban architecture, I propose to create more public green space that gives space back to public and provides exterior gathering space for Airbnbs. For the office building itself, I will apply the new ideas of working  from NBBJ, Wework and Amazon to redefine and reorganize the traditional workplace to create a flexible, comfortable and evocative environment.

 

Airbnb updates:

Airbnb is one of the biggest young firms in the world, being creative and advocating equality over every aspect.  The major ideas of this firm is to create a world where you can belong everywhere and treat everyone equally. The founders of Airbnb intend to create a workplace with diversity and collaboration. The founders of Airbnb want to share the experience of each candidate and treat them as a guest to improve the experience.

 

Airbnb

  • Diversity
  • Belonging
  • Equality
  • Simplicity
  • Happiness
  • Brainstorming

Proposed concept:

  • Open plan                    Every position on the floor can be treated as a working spot.
  • Transparency             No solid boundary between working space.
  • Flexibility                    Few permanent use of space – sharing space (?)
  • Warm tone                  Use wood or other home-like material
  • Elevated                      Leave the majority of the ground floor to be a public space.
  • Connection                  In- Between Space (?)
