FACE-ADE: THE HUMAN LANDSCAPE

FACE-ADE transforms a typical, private home facade border into an intimate translucent ‘skin’. How do domestic architectural symbols evoke belonging and vulnerability? Pigmented bio-resin rotating wall studs are contoured with human profiles and embedded with repurposed, diverse hair waste sourced from local hair salons. The unified layer of hair, creates a shared intimate identity and spatial symbol of tolerance. Standing on both sides, visitors will feel like they are wearing the hair of others. It asks, who lives behind these walls? How do we, in our differences, live together?
