Guest Artist George Schmidt

Architecture for Social Intensification (project one):


"..... 'Meeting House', as the name implies, is a small house for meetings. Two chairs will be attached at either end of 'Meeting House' facing each other. People having a meeting will sit in these chairs with their heads in the house. The confined setting will force an intensified interaction between the two participants, underlining and emphasizing the power of architecture in shaping and defining social interactions....."
