Success and Interaction

As an architect with over 40 years experience, I have encountered an important idea common to almost all organizations.  The environment controls our level of success by setting up the proper level of face to face interaction.  The government and corporations know this and direct their architects to design to the level of interaction that optimizes their particular program. 

The Townlet public spaces maximize the potential for flexible face to face interaction with a selection of comfortable accommodations for the full range of personalities from introvert to extrovert.

Optimized Face to Face Interaction

Dancing about Architecture

Ironically, Steve Martin was almost right when he said “Talking about music is like dancing about architecture”. The truth is that we dance about architecture every day.  We learn and repeat our individual dances as we move from room to room, building to building and building to landscape.  The richness of the experience is the result of the quality of the setting.  A new setting creates anxiety as we learn a new dance that will usually be repeated if we return.  The dance stops when we get into a car.

The Townlet is designed to provide a rich stage for daily life.
