jones residence received an Overall Honorable Mention Recognition and Innovation Honorable Mention Recognition in archoutloud's HOME Competition 2021
Our proposal for the 2021 home competition investigates the shifting relationships between digital media, contemporary culture, and the built environment. The Jones Residence seeks to respond to these tumultuous relationships by forfeiting the sanctity of the home in an outward display.
Amidst our aesthetic culture and the ever-growing struggle to “keep up with the Joneses,” we have become unhinged. Though shielded by white picket fences and lush hedges, digital media and artificial intelligence effortlessly puncture through the seemingly impermeable walls of our homes. This phenomenon is occurring as we are simultaneously experiencing a paradigmatic shift: the voyeuristic notion of gazing through an open doorway has subverted itself into the fear that nobody is watching at all. Fueled by our insatiable craving for attention and material items, we reveal even our most intimate spaces like film sets via the interface of online platforms.
