HUMAN . MACHINE MICRO-LIVING

USC Architecture Spring 2017 12’X12’ Boundary box Professor: Hunter Knight

ACTOR & SUPPORT

EXHIBITED + PUBLISHED. ARCHREPORT “BETWEEN FURNITURE AND BUILDING” 9.2017

The modern sensibility regarding building systems and technologies is one of deliberate and often labored concealment. A machine is only noticed through the effects of its malfunction (a room too hot or a pool of water on the floor). This project seeks to bring the apparatuses and interfaces that support domestic functions, comfort and rituals out of the walls and into the home.

While avoiding fascination and fetishism with technology as such Lloyds of London, this project will work through the latent aesthetics of these characters. The Human Machine rests somewhere between furniture and architecture. It is substantial enough to define space and generate atmospheres, yet it is not a building itself.
