Overview
Installation entitled “Open_City” for the European Cultural Centre architecture bienal in Venice 2018 seeks to propagate new versions/visions of public space that respond to advanced social situations in our urban fabric. The installation reconstructs the immersive experience of a private office, designed as open public space, for the headquarters of Airbnb in San Francisco. A lifting veil surrounds the user in an immersion of composite photograph, video, and glimpses of the passing public to represent the public intimacy that the urban intervention creates.
