Taeg Nashimoto. Plot House No. 1, 1992, Elevation and Section
In Taeg Nishimoto's Plot House projects, the "nakedness" of the house involves both virtual and actual transparencies between the private and public parts of the world within the house. Nishimoto has used the form of a fragmented conversation, which the reader seemingly overhears, to describe an environment that intermingles the idea of scrutiny from outside with that from within:
"6. When I see the shadow of her robe hanging on the bedroom sliding door, I know she is sleeping.
7. The bed takes up the whole room.
8. "Bob, don't you think it's kind of embarrassing leaving the box of condoms on the glass shelf?" ,"Our bedroom walls are filled wih all sorts of junk , nobody will even notice" "
(Taeg Nishimmoto, "Just What Is It That Makes Today's House So Different, So Appealing?-Now," unpulbished proect description 1991)
