C3 STANDS FOR COLIVING, COWORKING, AND COLLISION. THE PROGRAMMING OF C3 TIES TOGETHER ELEMENTS OF COLIVING AND COWORKING UNDER THE OVERARCHING THEME OF COLLISION - THE PHENOMENON OF SERENDIPITOUS INTERACTION. C3 IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE OPEN SPACES AND OPEN CIRCULATION THAT INCREASE THE CHANCES FOR THESE COLLISIONS TO OCCUR. C3 IS DESIGNED FOR STUDENTS AND YOUNG PROFESSIONALS WHO WANT TO STRENGTHEN THEIR NETWORK AND LIVE A MORE AFFORDABLE AND SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE. THE ARCHITECTURAL FORM OF THE BUILDING CAN BE BROKEN DOWN INTO THREE COMPONENTS: PLINTH, TERRACE, AND TOWER. THE SOUTH FACADE HAS DEEP OVERHANGS THAT EXTEND 7-8’ OUTWARDS, WHICH SHADES THE FACADE FROM THE SUN DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. THE WEST FACADE IS POPULATED WITH OPERABLE COPPER LOUVERS OF VARYING WIDTHS, CREATING A SCATTERED MOVEMENT ACROSS THE FACADE. THE FORM AND FACADE OF THE BUILDING ARE DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE, WHICH OPTIMIZES THE CHANCES FOR COLLISION
