Expanding interactions is here to redefine commerce. In today's society commerce is seen as a quick interaction between buyer and seller. By adding new programs and opportunities with personal vendors these human connections can be reattached. Expanding Interactions reimagines this condition by drawing inspiration from the agricultural fields that once occupied the land. The concept overlays and overlaps “fields” of program—much like farmland parcels—to create a layered architectural framework. These overlapping zones introduce new forms of commerce that extend beyond a simple buyer–seller exchange. All programs are unified beneath a single, expansive roofing structure, reinforcing the idea of shared space. Through architecture, landscape, and programmatic overlap, Expanding Interactions proposes a new definition of commerce—one that prioritizes connection, community, and meaningful exchange.
