| "Once public and private spaces are
distinguished from each other they can begin to play complementary roles
in urban life; a well organized city needs both." p.124 "City of bits: Space, Place and the Infobahn" William J. Mitchell The home is a point of reference for the urban walker. It provides us a with a barometer for spatial awareness. The human scale of the home determines the way in which we react to our surroundings once we leave. To understand our daily interaction with the city it is useful to highlight the domestic language that exists in our lives. Having a home gives us a sense of belonging and security. Transience, as found in hotels and hostels, leaves us exposed and without retreat. The visual language of the home is therefore of great importance to us and as it is an environment that is traditionally secure and reserved; invasion or exploration of this space evokes strong emotional reactions. Curtains are part of this domestic shield, protecting our lives from the public view. Being both practical and aesthetic they invoke a strong impression of the personality of the owner. They also offer us a scale from which we can relate to the world around us. What happens if this scale is distorted? What if we re-place it with wallpaper? 'Wallpaper' concludes the exhibition 'Public / Private' at Mansions. |
