PROTOTYPES
I think I still need to consider what Rocky and Robi commented about earlier during one of our class activities:
Rocky - Who is the major target audience: interior designers or people who like to arrange rooms in general? Could it help designers in work or does it provide fun to players/audiences?
Robi - Is this a functional tool or a tool for expression? The blurring of those two might lead to interesting results.
I would to make it a more functional tool if possible, but I am still unsure on how to do that. These prototypes may not be the best to iterate on, but may definitely serve a starting point. I would like to reiterate more on the rug prototype, especially because I am yet to see a definitive purpose for it.

CENTER 21: The Secret Life of Buildings
"CENTER 21: The Secret Life of Buildings employs the nascent philosophies of speculative realism and object-oriented ontology to illuminate architecture as a peculiar set of objects, phenomena, relations, materials, and operations. Object-oriented ontology (OOO) is a philosophy that considers all objects (virtual or physical, large or small, singular or plural, closed or open) to be on equal ontological footing. Although it doesn’t exclude humans, it treats them as just another set of objects. This volume explores OOO’s significance to architecture, and possibly vice versa."
I read Objects, by Kory Bieg.
