Project Description:
Homogeneous space, in the name of equal distribution of the office area and dimension, becomes a disingenuous mask concealing a supervisory mechanism giving service to production efficiency: All should be seen. The aberrance of understanding is spatial "medium", not spatial "quality".
The restaurant originally on the site plotted out the space with windows on the south and north sides: annular space along the windows and the enclosed central part. This is almost the basic of our plan, a reestablished spatial mode which breaks the homogeneity. The office area occupies all the windows, leaving the central space to be a BAR of park quality and traffic meaning. Supervision of the boss gets lost in the central park. Metallic netting of silk quality, together with the BAR, becomes a vaguely defined space. As they block the line of sight, working more or less obtains the quality of entertainment.
Metallic thickness and netlike structure render the windows quality of duality: dissociative between metal and fabric, transparency and opacity, lucency and ventilation ...
Thus we gain diversified methods: cutting, folding, sewing, crinkling freely ..., which leads to uncertainty: diffraction of light wave and filtration of the environment by the diffraction. The relationship of inside and outside changes as time goes by, active, passive or mutual. Superposition of transparency, reflection and absorption processes the light.
Ultimately we realize the game of sight between the two sides, other than the mediocrity of glass. This is the duality of visual space brought by the material.
