Miniluv: 2084
Atmosphere and Agency
Supervisor - Mr. Bobby Wong
At the heart of this project is the perennial debate between a good hell and a fake paradise - a critique against the hypocrisy of the penal system in the enlightened society. Culminating in an architectural interpretation and projection of the Ministry of Love from George Orwell’s 1984, this thesis is an imagination of an alternative trajectory society could have taken - if it had remained as one of, borrowing Foucault’s words, discipline and punishment. This scheme seeks to recover auratic and affective spatial experiences robbed by wireless digital technology and to highlight human conditions that prevail even in this new world of rationality and flatness.
