- Abstract
My thesis project involves infusing the playful and informal nature of the beach experience
into a work setting and its extensions into the realm of leisure and living. The purpose is to
investigate how employing the various types of play occurring at the beach can stimulate interaction
with the body, object, individual, social group and imagination within the context of a 21st century
creative knowledge-based workplace and its new generation of young professionals in North
America. It is necessary to create a new workplace model that supports the contemporary trends of
mobility, work modes, and lifestyles with the understanding of effectiveness of leisure and play in a
workplace. By engaging in the dialectic relationship between work and leisure mentioned in Henri
Lefebvre's 'Critique of Everyday Life', the relationship between work and life can transform our
previous assumptions of the workplace based on efficiency and functionality.
