Architecture

After doing the readings, I realize that they architectural traits to build a compelling area/space do contribute substantially in making the area more appealing. The architecture of my current office actually reflects fairly well the aspects of good architecture. For this matter, my imaginative bridge will reflect the architectural traits of the my office. As we get ready to enter the waiting room/lobby of the office, there is an impression created before crossing the door. The reception faces the door while creating a warm welcoming and "we're at your service" type of atmospheres to the students/partners.

Most offices are one-person offices for advising and privacy reasons due to the content of the advising sessions. However, the way the offices are set up reflect a pattern in which all the office doors are aligned to the wall together with office windows allowing for proper light to come in the office. The intern area illustrates perfectly the cisco system (the intern area used to be cubicles). This allows more interaction, communication,  and team work between the interns and better access from supervisors and vice versa. In the middle of the intern area is an island which also allows space for great office dynamic and a team-oriented office. I believe that if we were to still have cubicles, the dynamic of the office would not have been as great.

Below are some pictures to illustrate:
