The advanced mobility of technology and personal mobile device provides great flexibility for the shopper and tech-talent to work, play and socialize around the clock without any boundary, not just virtually but also in the physical world. Despite the normal shopping and experience nature of the mall, the introduction of “docks” for instant plug-in of varieties brings in new energy. This “I-dock” at the main atrium is an icon of interest and Instagram, a point of imagination and inspiration, and a place for information and input. This multi-tasking energy node is like a commercial docking component around the atrium orbit, brings in centripetal force to attract people. Another docking component, the “S-dock” in the secondary atrium serves as a stepped-connecting platform of life synergy, social activities, sustainable sharing of sunlight and roof terrace scene. This social-adaptive use of space is the core element of this nomadic culture to orbiting around, yet injects living energy to the mall routines. No matter where they are, people can shift the purpose of shopping, to working or exercising within a mall to fit their personal priorities. This emphasizes a new hybrid between the shopping mall and the co-functioning space.
