PUN, CHUN HIN. 2020. THE [ OFF - CORE ]. Master's thesis, Harvard Graduate School of Design.
Abstract
The [OFF - CORE] is a thesis that encourages us to imagine what the definition of [OFFICE] be like in the future and how could the design of the [CORE] in a tower facilitates this paradigm shift.
Can an [OFFICE] be less solely about the free plan but more inclusive of different kinds of workspace?
Can a [CORE] be expressed spatially and pragmatically in the foreground than being buried in the background?
Can the dichromatic relationship between the [OFFICE] and the [CORE] get blurred?
Using Hong Kong as the testing ground and the IFC tower as the main precedent, the thesis proposal is presented as a prototype sister tower adjacent to the IFC with the same dimensions but displaying a new [OFF - CORE] concept for the future.
