How do I see the awkward things?
The transparent building which was to permit unlimited vision out, in fact , exposed itself to observation from without. "The curtain wall has created an overexposed world which leaves only a few shadow zones of privacy. Today, glass is neither the euphoric arterial that promises to seamlessly connect private and public space, nor the menacing surface defining controller and controlled. The pathologies have inverted: the dear of being watched has transformed into the fear that no one may be watching.The glass has assumed the role of a representational surface, a performance screen."(diller scofidio+renfro)
