In this research and design project I searched for a formal framework that preserves this qualities and, at the same time, creates space for the users to form their own environment.

This book is the result of the research conducted in the P1 phase of the graduation studio ‘Positions in Practice’ of the chair Methods and Analysis in the department for architecture and the built environment, TU Delft.
