description: The digital native’s way of life has been undeniably molded by acombination of a befouled economy and a coming of age period thatdirectly aligns with one of the most significant technological revolutions this world has seen. For a generation that has curated such a large presence in the virtual world, these media moguls have no physical space to call their own. This generation can hardlyafford to live anywhere but their parent’s couch, and, thanks to technological advancements, it is from here that they exercise most of their daily activities ranging from working shopping and socializing to entertaining and educating themselves. The mobile devices that allow us to live this way have become extensions of ourselves, and it is through these that we are constantly being harvested for data about the ways we live and interact with others.By designing an architecture where people could simultaneously liveand have access to all of that data about themselves, the digital native could finally own a physical space of their own in tandem with their digital cloud space. This new building completely radicalizes an existing condition of life in the digital age bymaximizing architecture’s ability to sensor and analyze its inhabitants and providing them with data about themselves and their daily activities.
