Privacy and Alternatives address a recurring concern of 1970’s urban-nomadic architecture: ownership and the home. An architectural renderer was hired to draw speculative arrangements of the components found in a physical work, Model 5 (BEACH MATRIX). Positioning the drawings between the speculative space of the draft, and the commemorative nature of the realestate illustration, questions both the lineage and finality of the object depicted. The titles (Privacy and Alternatives and Beach Matrix) reference a manual, published by architect and designer Ken Isaacs, containing instructions and diagrams for DIY portable living structures. Both the object Model No. 5 (BEACH MATRIX) and Isaacs’ designs highlight a desired renewal of an interface with nature, and an escape from participation in the heavily urbanized and hierarchical structures related to labor and capital.
