Marco Di'Santi
Architecture Blend
UPDATE:
ORIGINAL:
My idea for this was for the
merging of public and private architectural spaces. However, upon encountering
some limitations with my understanding of architecture and my conflation of
that terminology with interior design, I went with a slightly different blending.
Blending a series of vertical Amphitheatre mezzanine columns and a spiral
stairway in order to construct an arena in the visage of a spy glass out of
public spaces to have it open up and reveal a bed. A bed which, while not
specifically architecture itself, is indicative of private spaces. I also
really liked how because I was able to catch all the people in the space
unaware, they are all busy doing other things, yet are still engaged with the
display, due to the constructed architecture. Constructing a simulation of the
passive consumption of private lives that our society enforces within our media
cultures, especially within the parasocial relationships we are encouraged to
forge with our media and celebrity idols.
