Larry nineteen hundred what time is it two thousand and seventeen somewhere along the way we forgot who we are designing cities I will be signing CDS for people what I would be signing CDS permission the walk assuming I think in an unprecedented way more more people to leave the city economic and cultural house the action places like New York some of these long them firing Shanhai
home Singapore but there is a consequence to the US median so people move to cities space becoming the scars and of course but how does that affect you how does that affect but many people the young interpreter a single mother the emptiness there they're working class family how does that affect you you have to make a choice you either move as far as you need to
the city center in order to afford a place think about suburban sprawl or if you want to stay in the city the downside square putting as the price of a square foot in places like Boston some Francisco or New York so really wealthy young thousand dollars the problem with those two things those two options is that they both come with government compromises in your quality of
life the first one apart from the fact that it is not the most sustainable way of growing up the CD or us a country you're giving up pre shoes mount right commuting everyday and the second of course you are much more conscious of what your foot print but you are giving up a great no one's really what what there was a different way what if I
told you that out our conception office space is wrong because actually be wrong for a long long time bigger larger space bass not mean more functionality that is based in a very old paradigm where we linearly really square footage and and I square footage has become that might become numb people use to tell you how much functionality you the more square footage the more functionality and
that is so so wrong all square feet not born I'm gonna prove that to you we're going to use an example we're going to use as an example I received a shell studio apartment we could have chosen another urban space because have chosen a no fees hotel room a dorm but it's it's a risky mission is to be a part now I'm not talking about this
three up armored from six on the CD let me bring you back to reality typically story apartment in New York right now looks more like that I need your living in one of these apartments you're probably having one of these three problems or maybe all number one lack of the V. shared office space that is the main reason why couples don't want to move to studies
because it's very difficult to have two counteracting seem without a second sleeping or watching TV we then found out throughout our research interesting things like what happens when a couple gets probably you guys write one of them has no eternity but number two the lack of a prepared leaving their out or dining area this is the D. B. Kyle situation in which your studio feels like
a hotel room it feels like a bedroom and if you're gonna have in a social gathering or a business meeting not only is dysfunctional but it becomes pretty pretty awkward and number three lack of a storage believe it or not we still have a lot of physical things I'm one of the last two studies about apartment trance told us that difficult most wanted feature in apartments
nowadays right after high speed internet walking costs now good luck trying to feed a working class in this space but we need three prongs are not fixed I just invented but actually that would align institute published a report that highlighted it's very same but some of you may be thinking not authenticated don't go too fast %HESITATION engineers you know you sign your psyche picks have been
thinking all these problems for a long time I'm not trying to come up with solutions indeed the problem is that all these solutions come with them the first problem off the shelf space entered the union bedroom arctic chill wall in a studio it's also a problem by creating another problem because half of the time when you are not the sleeping your living room just speak for
number two lack of a proper living area welcome back more favorites from my grandpa's home now these Issa I would example of something that is great for occasional use for guests but it's great horrible for they use because it forces you to go through it read to all through the golden pagoda front of transformation adding the steps to your daily life I must give vessels from
us and said what people have found over and over again is that when you remove tiniest friction from daily activities do make people's lives I number three to a lack of a storage either you build a working class that we talked about which takes up of your space for only twenty minutes of use or what developers are building our storage rooms like this one you can
pay fifty a hundred a hundred fifty dollars a month for us more storage box so the point here is that all the solutions I think makes don't really solve new problems but what if we could think of what a world where spaces Wallace hot go back to the same challenge think about what could happen or what if your bedroom or your living room could shrink or
expand opinion on activities what if you could someone your bedroom or your office are you walking close what if all of these could happen with just the finger touch or a gesture or boys multi from control what if all of these could happen even autonomously when a space understands that DVDs are happening what if there could be ups that make your space your furniture door walls
talk two other smart devices I'd like but there must think about a new space paradigm where space if I'm up to pass another activities in the most important if I might make a way instead of us adopting what does a skeptic out other let me tell you that we are to be signing assistance like household products reliable sighing to endure thousands of cycles even the sign
to going to money on mode if the power goes down state engineer to a stop in any dangers or house of those situation and of course cost effective the coupling the robotics from the furniture so we can cost optimize the robotics and allow all kinds of furniture solutions and from the very tip the very expert what is even better is the fact that this is not
a dream this is not a prototype it's actually a product that a company called ori but my team and I found it from MIT is lounging in the coming and as they are you know its name or you got me we are talking about approachable it takes different forms and different functionalities elegance but what is even better than that is that I just show you one
example I just show you one product I want productivity snow is going to solve all the problems a Polish spaces and old people we need to go a little deeper we need to think about tools need to think about I keep of parts of robotics mechanics electronics so bored that allows to create many more solutions conduits thousands of solutions for different space brought my team and
I got very spider by what MIP I legal created tickets go they created a good brains muscled skeletons but what more direct and that could allow kids create amazing engineering marvels so many different possibilities the same backbone technologies now the Gallegos for grown ups you go you any signer the architect the furniture maker having access to tools robotic tools that allow you to create all kinds
of solutions bets that sliding the drop from the ceiling tables the more around even pouch is that a slightly my carpets solutions that even my team and I haven't even thought of think about mobile are stand the right components thousands of product possibilities I we go stores in your hands now you can go back to produce to Orman problems it's not only the story apartment in
New York City it can be a family of four people trying to make four hundred square feet walking home grown or it could be their startup company in New York City I can't really figure out how to space up by or the business traveler goes around the world I would love to have that room double several pieces throughout the day I knew generation office space is
