For Project 3: SLEEP/WAKE: TWO STRANGERS, we are to design a space for two strangers to stay a night. The project started off with exploring possible sleeping platform for two strangers.
From the sketches made, a quick model was made based on the sketch. I wanted to focus on the level of interaction between strangers, as I think sleep is very much a private act. It would be interesting to have a platform where the level of privacy, or interaction between the strangers can be altered.
The first platform generated was a bed that shares a single headboard. By placing two beds close together, the intimacy between strangers are increased. However, with the presence of a single headboard, there is still some level of privacy between the strangers as they are not able to see each other while on the platform.
The next sleeping platform made was inspired by my trip earlier to Tokyo, while staying at an accomodation with multiple capsules in the room. I opened up the side of the platform so that the openess of the platform can be determined by the curtains that can potentially be hung on the sides.
From here, I think the priority would be to come up with a situation for the two strangers and design the gallery space accordingly while applying the idea of sleep/wake. Instead of using same ideas from Project 2, I plan to bring in some elements but make major changes to how the intervention is placed to the gallery.
