Abstract: Architecture is made by use and design. To use a building is to make it, either by physical transformation, such as moving walls or furniture, by inhabiting it in ways not previously imagined or by conceiving it anew. With a role equal in the formulation of architecture to that of the architect, the creative user either creates a new space or gives an existing one new meanings and uses contrary to established behaviour.
