Generation Y is known for being self focused and “its all about me” concept. We are so focused on our small worlds of technology, socializing and exploring all and new experiences. In saying this, we live in a new age that enables us to learn everything imaginable through its wide sources of communication and technology.
I do believe that we have the ability to be better as a community and as individuals. Growing more mature each year, being socially aware becomes more evident in terms of the economy, politics, health and infrastructure just to name a few, as it in gulps daily conversations and impact lives.
Yes I can’t say every single person in this generation is not interested in its politics and what happens in our government. That’s just not true. But majority of us are completely clueless. Reasons may be due to laziness, uneducated, or lack of interest. This gap bring forth opportunities to produce a built form that passively educates people of the current government doings, history and other relevant information. By doing so it makes us more aware and potentially allows the people to make effective decisions when voting for policies.
Accordingly one of the questions we must ask is what is it that keeps us coming back | what attracts us today? Can it be games, cafes, lounges and alcohol? or is it studying, a specific product, work, the location, the design? Those suggested are but some examples of things and places that draw people to a space and ultimately activating its function and form.
