THE NEW GENERATION

In my paper,I talked about the mapping between physical spaces and it's type of function.We can work at home, use internet to communicate with colleagues and get comments from bosses.Nowadays,lots of people's works are using the computers and internets ,which can be done in any places that has Wi Fi. But Why people still have to work at offices? not just because they were asked to be,but there's a trigger in subconscious that tells people, OK, it's the office,let's work.

People have been using certain types of architectures to contain certain behaviors for a long time.Everyone has a blurred cognition of the mapping between space and function.You want to do Mass,you go to the church,the building has towers or colorful glass window.That become ordinary and common sense.

But these things might change with the next generation,the new generation.Progressing in technology is liberating us from physical contacts and showing us a cyber space that is also functional and powerful.More and more information is processed with the computing units inside the terminals,now even the "Clouds". A lot of functions that can only be achieved face to face,now can be get by internet,it causes the break of links between function and physical spaces that has continued for centuries.

The new generation won't have the loyalty to some architectural types, because they haven't experience the time that we have functions that strongly related to physical spaces.Architectural type becomes insignificant.They can enjoy their life in a room that has just walls and a computer.

What should we do to react? I think the combining of smart furniture and architecture envelope will be a trend. Architectures can be really touched and used in a interactive way,the identities of architectures will not be about the shapes or constructions,but more detailed into how people can interact with it.
