hence temporal, nature of space means that spatial production must be
understood as part of an evolving sequence, with no fixed start or fin-

The hybrid designer will go beyond problem solving and practicality, to
write the manifesto and express what it means to live in an intercon-
nected society through architecture. To articulate how our buildings
have become gateways to communities of connection and alternative
experience. Or, to personify each building as a character in the story of
a life, responding to you, shaping your environment to suit your needs,
analyzing situations, providing feedback, and recalling past experi-
ence. In fact, by giving voice to architecture through interconnected-
ness, we may re-create a time when humans had a closer relationship
to space and its meaning. If nothing else, at least we can become better
listeners.
