Abstract

Since Kahn proposed the separation between servant and served spaces - transforming the former into the invisible infrastructure that allows the splendor of the latter - the distinction has remained valid as a design tool. But when servant spaces happen to contain the building’s own systems, such segregation becomes problematic: the building no longer relies on its own infrastructures, but these also require excessive energy.
