this project is about public space in a private context.
Kartoffelrækkerne Gallery.
February 2014. København, Danmark. Danish Institute for Study Abroad.
This gallery is designed to house a Poul Henningson piano, a musical composition by Per Nørgaard, and a jukebox. Taking inspiration from the Situationist concept of the “Spectacle of Society”, this building is simultaneously outward and inward looking- a place where the watchers can be watched. Within the context of Copenhagen’s residential Potato Rows, it responds to the tension between public and private life by providing a space for shared experiences while fracturing views of local geometry to respect neighbors’ privacy.
