Library of surveillance

2022

Conceptual

Emotion

In the era of technology, surveillance is pervasive and takes on diverse forms, rendering everything public and transparent. It is within this context that the project finds its inspiration, drawing from the intriguing concepts of voyeurism and architectural surveillance. The presence of surveillance endows the observer with a sense of authority and control over others. The act of being under constant watch compels individuals to reflect on their behavior and subject it to their personal values and norms, leading to a tendency towards more socially accepted behavior. This library represents an architectural exploration that challenges the conventional notion of windows as mere thresholds between private and public realms.
