Ruoyu Wang from Te Whare Wānanga o Wairaka, Unitec, School of Architecture is a finalist for their project 'Almost Unnoticeable: A Project on Time Existence in Place and Non-Place'.
Project description
To accommodate the pace of modern living, non-places prioritise efficiency at the expense of character. By using the anonymity and equal identity conferred by non-places, this project imagines a series of interconnected spaces to promote different perspectives, initiate conversations and raise interest in cultural diversity.
Architectural opportunities are explored through the concept of time and space as circular and respond to the possibility of joy in the temporary loss of identity.
