Post Privacy
Post-Privacy questions thresholds through generating a series of rooms with varying capacities of being indoors and outdoors.
Given a relational binary to serve as formal basis for the work, inside/out, this project began with a focus on the interior organization of a free-standing building as a study of the plan diagram as a means of exploring the mechanics by which experience of a building may be informed.
The project challenges the concept of privacy as it exposes and intrudes on traditionally hidden spaces in the domestic realm, configured around five units, housing: a family, a couple, three roommates, and two separate individuals. Each unit overlaps at least one other unit, with sight-lines in one unit ending in a unit outside of their own, intruding on private moments of neighbors.
What is customarily the exterior of the building is now wrapped around the interior shell, revealing the hidden domesticity. The most interior moment is now on the outside, the most exterior moment is now in the center, reverting conventional ideas of what should be inside (private), and what should be outside (public).
