COLLECTIVE HOUSING

Cartesian coordinates dominate architectural planning for their practical advantages.
But as Marshall McLuhan said, “We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us.”
To be confined by a single system is to limit our thinking. By embracing a polar system, we move beyond the grid-filling game.
It is an intentional shift in perspective, focusing on relationships to a center, and in doing so, unlocking different architectures.
