Heterotopia
Michel Foucault wrote of Heterotopias in the late twenty-first century, yet architecture remains a divisive domain in which the mundane is overlooked for starchitecture. This project seeks to rehumanize the architecture of the everyday by pairing places such as a Nail Salon or a Motel with portraits of the human who inhabitant them. Originally printed on newsprint, the photographs evoke a traditional form of media, thus questioning why architecture of the everyday is never discussed in the news. Yet, the project also evokes a sense of irony via the Titles, which push certain stereotypes to the foreground.
