Architecture of Subtraction
Karmen Franinovic, Ivrea
architecture as a way to subtract (reduce) unwanted information within public places
play as an “in-between” space outside of productivity (ie, it subtracts itself)
using interviews to get at ways that people (in Ivrea) draw boundaries to protect themselves from info overload (collective/personal, mental/physical)
- subtraction from routine (ie, vacation)
- subtraction from people
- subtraction from environmental stressors
filtering information through physical boundaries and devices – several ideations for relational designs
