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.
