Between the Lines
The velocity with which machines are developing is pushing technology to metastasize not just on our physical structures but our physical needs as well. This is affecting our relationship with ourselves and the interplay between our body and space. Throughout this dissertation, the bathroom has been chosen as the site of study, due to it being the most intimate interior for humanity. The thesis examines whether the complexity of humanity can continue to understand and coexist with the advancements in digital technology while maintaining a connection to the tangible material world.
Through a thorough investigation of the relationship of humans and interiors, the experimentations aim to generate a space where we may rebuild our connection to a portion of our shared humanity. This research endeavours to explore interiority through a combination of theoretical inquiry and design experimentation, employing experimental methods to deepen our understanding on the nature of interiority and its impact on our lived experiences.
This dissertation presents a futuristic design solution to bridge the gap between the ideas of interiority with humans and machines. The proposal discusses the creation of an adaptable parasite, the psychiatric ward, which acts as a salve to recover any remaining ties to mankind. Serving as a time capsule for the future, the psychiatric ward stands ready for action should the necessity arise, while also providing insight into potential future landscapes.
This research concludes with the recognition that interiors are intricately woven into the fabric of the human experience, where our engagement with the built environment serves not only as a means of emotional expression but also as a foundation for the preservation of individuality.
