USER BEHAVIORAL STUDY at the CO-WORKING SPACES WITHIN EX-MILITARY WAREHOUSE BUILDINGS

Abstract

Increasingly urban density causes land prices to become more expensive through the years. Repurposing old buildings that are no longer functioning as new functions can be one of the solutions. By utilizing the cultural heritage building of ex-military warehouses of the former Dutch Colonial Government, Warehouse 22 uses 3 parts of the warehouses for a commercial function that is more relevant to today's needs. One of the facilities available is co-working spaces, as a place for activities that became the main focus of this research. This research method applies descriptive qualitative research carried out through observation to describe the settings of activities in its place, especially in the co-working space area through place-centered mapping. This research aims to understand the phenomenon that occurs in the co-working space area related to the behavior of its users, privacy, personal space, and territory. This study shows how a pandemic indirectly changes our daily behavior in the settings where the activity occurs and creates a new lifestyle as an adjustment in the present and future.
