you may say that i'm a dreamer, but i'm not the only one..

i woke up this morning startled by a dream that a pinch would not be able to bring me out of. if it is to make any sense at all, the space in this dream, much like in inception ,was architecturally intriguing, interesting and inspiring. (that's a mouthful of i - words..)

anyway, it was an entirely new concept of urban life. the connectivity that the world offers makes it so much easier to work from home, your bed, or let's say somewhere in the ocean. in this dream, we all exist in a society where we work from home, so much so that for the faint willed and tough to motivate kind, you can rent desk space near your home and communally work with people who live near you. you share the infrastructure of the office, like printing and internet, snacks, lounge and what not. the cool part is you get to work with people from varying specialisations, cut the commute to the office, probably be working in another country and sit right beside your family while you work. i was amazed at the reality of this office space, the cocoon of existence, the independence and the control that you have over your life. the best part were the details... never fear, all desks can be converted to be used in any profession (maybe not for doctors or nurses) but definitely for architects. it's a malleable workspace, you can draw, sketch, dock your laptop and do anything you would be doing at work next week.

lovely, isn't it?
