Engineering The Digital Workplace: The Architecture of Changing Social Interaction

Abstract

“Engineering the Digital Workplace” explores how meaningful design can inform, and be informed by, social interaction in an increasingly connected and less private society. The thesis proposes to create a model for how productivity can be sustainable in a culture where electronic interconnectedness threatens tangible interaction. This problem is best explored through the architectural creation of the headquarters for a firm designing first generation 3-dimensional holographic communication software on a site in the developed downtown of Sioux Falls, SD.
