MYRTLE STUDENT DORMITORY

“space that encourages interactions and ensures privacy for students”

The dormitory project opens the opportunity for investigation of the ever dissolving line between public and private, a place where cross programming presents endless opportunities for dwelling in the collective realm. It is in this “realm of pure possibility” where the familiar may be stripped of its certitude and conventional economics and politics transcended. It is a place that increasingly calls us to experience the “both/and” rather than “either/or” and from that place of ambiguity and uncertainty to find a sense of home in the in-between. The project explores spaces that impact the quality of living and the societal interaction in fundamental ways, those provide potential of multiple becoming and find new notions of dwelling in the collective realm.
