Our community is an integral part of our identity and our relationship with one another gives us purpose. Architecture constructs the environment and so constructs our interactions. This thesis explores how architectural techniques influence the way a community grows richly by developing a coworking office in Fargo, North Dakota. Through the study of a new typology by comparing existing coworking and startup offices and interviews with these companies, this thesis serves evidence for how a town may achieve the sense of community that this Northern Midwestern city aspires. Key Words: Startup, Community, Public, Urban, Coworking, Office
