    1. The document discusses how digital media and internet access have eliminated distance barriers, allowing people instant access to services and resources from anywhere. This has made work and social interaction location independent. 2. It proposes that virtual communities could serve as new spaces for communication and exchange. Amenities and programs would be distributed in a "buckshot" model throughout a gridded site to encourage mixing. 3. The conceptual plan shows a community center that collapses spatial and programmatic relationships through underground and sunken spaces to stage spontaneity and encourage communal health and wellness activities.

    ARCHITECTURE AS INTERFACE

    Access to a range of internet-based digital media, services, and devices for the individual means:
    1. A collapse in distance between people and
    services.

    2. Instantaneous accessibility to social and


    economic resources in relative isolation (through
    an individuals device).

    These causes eliminate the inconvenience of a commute or formal/designated space and allow for greater
    productivity or efficiency and more articulate organization through the expediency of information.

    If virtual communities are the new venues of communication, interaction and


    exchange, then:
    1. Work and play become location-independent:
    Events can occur anywhere and simultaneously.
    People should be encouraged to congregate through
    a carpet-model of grid-based spatial
    distribution.

    2. Community can be delivered to you: Amenities


    are nested within a grid-based spatial dispersion
    of above and below-ground spaces. People should be
    encouraged to mix through a buckshot-model of
    programmatic distribution that collides and
    overlaps.

    The architectural interface orders yet stages social and physical spontaneity
    through a layered collapse of spatial and programmatic relationships in the
    Community Center. Consequently, health and wellness become social activities as
    much as personal or private routines.
