VISUALIZING privacy
Nathaniel Keihn & Daniel Potash
Location: College of Architecture and Planning 1st Floor
Theme: Privacy is considered to be the ability of a person to seclude themselves from the others around them.
Problem: The bare windows of the Visual Resources Collection room did not allow any privacy from the public walkway while working on the computers.
Design Intervention: Since frosting of the glass was not an option, as with the windows across the hall, a simple application of trace paper was utilized. The paper was placed at eye level for a passerby. There was enough space left to allow visual contact for security concerns. Text above was added to help complete the mimicry of the deans office windows. Both of these together give a clean, crisp look to this act of privacy.
