ABSTRACT
THE PRIMARY RESEARCH FOCUS OF THIS DISSERTATION REVOLVES AROUND THE CONCEPT OF A "PLUGIN" PROGRAM. IT RAISES A FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER A BUILDING CAN ATTAIN LONG-TERM USABILITY THROUGH METABOLIC FLEXIBILITY (PLUGIN UNITS AND THEIR RECONFIGURABLE SPACE), PROMOTING ADAPTABILITY (ACCOMMODATING VARIOUS PROGRAM TRANSFERS), AND MEETING SUSTAINABLE FUTURE CRITERIA. SPECIFICALLY, THIS DISSERTATION INQUIRES WHETHER THIS "PLUGIN" BUILDING DESIGN, WITH ITS RECONFIGURABLE UNITS AND METABOLIC SYSTEM, CAN ADAPT TO DIFFERENT SPATIAL PROGRAMS AND BECOME SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE
