Bürolandschaft: Artifact #1 The Executive Grotto

A sculptural exploration of power, conformity and transgression through the structure and artifacts of work and desire.
 
“...all over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and consume.”  
- Noam Chomsky
 
Initially concieved as a sculptural transgression of the structured space.
The maquette rough draft of the executive grotto Bürolandschaft. Initially this project was concieved as a reflection on the various cubical office systems that I have worked in. In my research of the origins of the office cubical, I came across the Bürolandschaft or office landscape guidelines for office planing. Working with Richard Darlington, my summer intern, a student of product design, together we looked at the guidelines and principles for Bürolandschaft and created several models each one intended to break the rules or guidelines for good office landscaping. Ironically it led us to a all to familiar form of the office cubical.
Currently I am working on creating a life sized version of this form and I will post images as the project progresses.
