Re-imagining the relationship between public, production and offices. These three programs independently function while firmly pressed against each other. The public is thrust in-between these two traditionally private corporate worlds. Negotiating for them is a series of rectilinear voids. The public visitor becomes a voyeur into this secret world. Direct interaction is only allowed when the voids pierce through the threshold. The public observer is watching, yet never fully understanding the complexity of its use.
Like a child looking through a store window, the thin separation of glass provides the initial seduction. While visually interacting on a one to one basis, neither participants can reach out and physically touch the outer. Look, but don’t touch.
Like viewers across a platform, the voids make the separated participants unacknowledged voyeurs. Unable to establish a one to one relationship, the viewer instead is given a sense of the system.
Mediated by staired surfaces, different constituencies are invited to interact in a presenter - presentee relationship. While the interaction itself is unprescribed, the formal infrastructure ensures a play of show and tell.
Each viewpoint is a snapshot into the corporate world, While never revealing the whole picture, partial systems are exposed to the viewer
Circulation infests around the voids, approaching at different points of view.
The office slice features open plans that reorganize as needed. The visitor slice ducks and weaves between two controlled programs. The production slice narrates as one moves up the building
At precise moments, the three programs are invited to interact, mediated by sloped surfaces.
