Frequently compelled by their knowledge and governance legislations, architects act as agents of expertise and impose top down solutions, in the form of fixed typologies, to bottom up and often temporary problems. Together with the fact that, in a fast paced, open source and migrating society, we still rely on the public-private dichotomy, results in the prematurely termination of any spatial emergent affordances. In order to adapt to the new social and cultural shift, architecture needs to arrest the terms of public and private and embrace a new spatial ontology that arises out of the Spinozian natura naturans and not natura naturata. The present paper investigates the possibility of achieving such an alteration in the design of spaces, through the use of a transcendental and phaseal common realm.
