Where Would I want to work?

Over the course of the past three years in the architecture program I have always struggled with how my designs might be inhabited if they became a reality. Is it better to design a space with a particular program in mind or design spaces that can be inhabited by many programs. With regards to most of our projects, we have a particular set of guidelines, you can choose whether to follow them or argue why you chose to change them. Some times this can feel as if I have lost the creativity to populate a space with something other than the implied program. This has often led me to trying to create multi-functional spaces. Which are either good or bad, they never seem to be somewhere in between. I wonder if while having clients or professors describe what they want we also form ways as designers to try and convince them to think of other possibilities. I know for me most of the time it is easier to follow the brief, but It still feels like wasted opportunities.
