The Social Spine

The Social Spine reimagines the corridor not just as circulation but as a system that creates different modes of interactions through visibility, encounters, and spatial rhythm. Dissolving the boundaries between program and circulation, the corridor can allow different demographics — elderly, families, and young professionals — to coexist within the same linear space. By reprogramming the corridor for collective living, the social spine can become the connective tissue that produces accidental encounters across different age groups.
