It started from a proposal for a competition of a dormitory for 200 international students to live together that required “Realization of new community space through living together”. We thought that not only cultures and customs, such as language and dietary, but also diverse backgrounds including personal preferences of each students could become a trigger for communication. We created a space like a small living room which we named “pot” and arranged them in three dimensions inside the huge 4-story atrium. The “pot” is a dwelling scale of 10-meter square footage, each having different shape with different furnitures and finishings. We expect spontaneous encounter inside the common space with various place to stay, where the students spend most of their times. It is a “International dormitory like a city” , where communication between students are not just a routine but fluid and casual.

這個計畫源於一項宿舍設計競賽的提案，目標是為200名國際學生共居生活，並實現「透過共同生活創造全新社群空間」。

我們認為，除了語言、飲食等文化與習慣的差異外，每位學生獨特的個人喜好和背景，也能成為促進交流的契機。

因此，我們創造出一種小型客廳般的空間，命名為「pot」，並將這些「pot」立體地分布於巨大的四層樓中庭內。

每個「pot」單元約10平方米，形狀各異，搭配不同的家具與內裝材質。

我們希望，在這個擁有各種逗留場所的公共空間中，學生們能自然而然地相遇與交流，並將大部分時間停留於此。

這是一座如同「城市」般的國際宿舍，在這裡，學生之間的互動不再只是例行公事，而是自由流動、輕鬆自在的生活日常。
