speculating digital media's influence on domesticity
Speculative Design Competition, Summer 2021
Designed in collaboration with Dominic Holiday, Justin Levelle, and Logan West
Recognized with an Honorable Mention in ArchOutLoud's Home Competition
Amidst our growing aesthetic culture and the ever-growing struggle to "keep up with the joneses," we have become unhinged. Though shielded by white picket fences and lush hedges, digital media and artificial intelligence effortlessly puncture through the walls of our homes. This phenomenon is occurring as we are experiencing a paradigmatic shift: the voyeuristic notion of gazing through an open doorway has subverted itself into the fear that nobody is watching at all. Fueled by our insatiable craving for attention and material items, we reveal even our most intimate spaces like film sets via the interface of online platforms. This proposal investigates the shifting relationships between digital media, contemporary culture, and the built environment. The Jones Residence seeks to respond to these tumultuous relationships by forfeiting the sanctity of the home in an outward display.
