Inside It’s Raining 07.07
‘And how is the weather in London’ … ‘I can’t remember, I was at work’
The average Briton spends 57 hours a week at work. This usually means inside an office block, sitting under fluorescent lighting in centrally heated / air conditioned rooms. Today technology connects us to different places faster, but, at the same time often disconnects us from the present and the place you are in. In cities like London one very quickly looses relation with the outside world.
This project is a comment on this relationship between the outside and inside world. One can look outside a window and register that it is raining, one can also check the internet. But can you smell the weather or feel it? This project questions how we use these interiors and manage to ignore, so very well, our outside world.
In ‘Inside it’s raining’ I create a water permeable window. If it rains, your desk gets wet. The desk is designed to deal with this fact. And work continues. As normal.
