dc.description.abstract	Social Adaptation examines ways in which a building can adequately respond to the advancement of computing technology and social media dominance. Overwhelming access to computing technology and social media not only changes the way we look at the built environment but continues to persuade and inform our daily life decisions. Because our culture is exploding with these advancements, the character of design needs to reflect the current needs of today’s society. Likewise, with the vast access to social media at our fingertips, we must strive to use this resource as a learning tool rather than a social crutch. Through the social elements of sustainability and use of smart technology, the built environment can enable healthier lifestyles and greater community cohesion through design (Bristow, 2012). The outcomes of this research are expressed through a social mediatheque, centrally located in downtown Grand Forks, ND for the community to utilize and better recognize society’s changing aspects.	en_US
