Inside Looking In.
Chicago, Il
fall 2019
The project functions as a study of social housing conditions and
their pairing with a semi rigid programmatic element of a community
centric theater.
Sharing typological frameworks and influences, these elements
interact through viewports creating a courtyard condition familiar
in apartment living but shifted to share space with the theater’s fly
tower. This relationship allows residents and occupants to view the
ongoings of the theater stage, creating a new form and platform of
performance.
Treating each unit’s viewport as a proscenium frames different props
and pieces of equipment as actors playing a role. This experience
changes from floor to floor in the three story courtyard.
