Variable Space: A Conversation Between Architecture, Landscape and the Body

Variable space is a type of environment that facilitates,invites and prompts the body to inhabit spacein a variety of ways beyond those practiced in dailylife. Such environments may offer a sense of reliefwithin a society where design standards, socialcodes, safety regulations and liability concerns,have come to dictate how, where, when and whyour bodies move. The lack of spatial variability in oururban environment not only limits the human rangeof movement but encodes spaces with invisiblelabels that reinforce social, physical and generationalsegregation.
