“Staircases and halls are wide and often daylit, encouraging people to dwell between their appointments in hopes of having a creative collision”. These are the meeting places of many co-workers and students. Many people tend to socialize or talk in hall ways or staircases.

“Being in bigger interactive spaces encourages thinking, while being in a box of a room encourages box thinking.” This is an opinion which states that if you are in a bigger room with more people you will think more and broaden your ideas, but if you are in a smaller room with less people you will still have a slight simple mind and you ideas will be shortened.
