The concept of technology creating a world where distances between humans do not matter.
A world where distances do not exist.
"And that is exactly it. The continous partial everywhere is the aspatial experience of simultaneity in immediate media. I am in the city where my friends are at the same as the one where I am myself. The city for me is no longer only a city in space, but now also a city in time. An aspatial city, without distances, in a kind of aspace."
The idealogy of a present and future, within first world countries, where technology such as Facebook and iPhones continue to destroy what privacy individuals have left and speed up the interaction of society. Above is Sarah van Sonsbeeck concept of a tent which represents the 'right to silence'. The electromagnetic radiation shielding of the tent prevents the set of frequencies used by modern technology and allows individuals inside to exist within a space where modern society has no impact upon them.
What does it mean for architecture and design if spaces for interaction do not exist or are not required by society. Will everyone begin to live and work within their own homes? If this is the case, a sense of community will be lost. Therefore I aim to design space for this project where individuals of Paddington wish to come and interact with others face-to-face. So we do not loose this culture. An adaptable, organic space (for indeterminate design) may just be the answer!
