Live, Work, Hack
Description:
I created a Live Work Space based on the below description. Through a series of case studies and utilizing Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs I used retail pieces of furniture to create form and function within the perceived "Hot Spots" of the space. I created 3 "Hacks" to achieve the goals, and physically built one piece as part of the final project installation.
Mass Produced furniture depletes our ability to exercise creativity and spontaneity in our pursuit of self actualization. Can we utilize our problem solving skills to reverse our subordination to the ready-made? Exploring this question within the structure of the three typologies in Deborah Schneiderman's book “Inside Prefab, the ready-made interior”:
- Screen- Planar Construction
- Module-Building Blocks
- Unit- All inclusive singular piece
The project test the following four operations:
- Adding
- Subtracting
- Replacing
- Displacing
To propose the syntax for domesticity as a framework for self actualization, potentially offering an unexplored paradigm for the modern interior.
