How do you reconstruct society's concept of Aging?
The nuclear family of the modern day has created communities of elderly people who congregate willingly or unwillingly on the fringes of society. Reflecting on my formative experience of having grown up living with my grandparents, I arrived at the conclusion that for society to rethink the elderly, the modern nuclear family unit must be reconsidered.
The move underground for the multi-family home was an artistically motivated act. The elimination of light was to translate one’s reliance on spatial navigation from the visual sense to a kinetic one: a symbolic act to reverse the concept of aging. It also created the spatial condition of pure interiority without an exterior form.
