With the development of new technology, information consumption is no longer a hierarchical process. Information is no longer solely consumed from books and magazines but is also shared and transferred from one person to the next which is a social act. In this project, the programmatic spaces merge into the main circulation core, the magnet. The magnet is activated by the programmatic spaces to facilitate unpredictable social interactions.
