#176 #Wetrooms 👥👥👥👥 … ‘wet room’ responds to the inclusion of a laundry room within community-led housing schemes while acknowledging the absence of water within this space, in contrast to the traditional Indian “water room” where water is celebrated. The community share the flow of water which occurs twice a day, creating a washing ritual where residents in London must come together and share space and water. … 👥👥👥👥 By Luke Reveley @lr.stgm
#175 #Wetrooms 🐟🐟🐟 … As I move around the corner, I discover a still-life hanging effortlessly on the wall in front of me. The play of light emitting from the ripples below make the brush strokes come to life, sprinkling the painting with golden freckles. With every step, the room gets filled with more splashing of light and sound. The painting vibrates to my every move. And as I step out of the water at last, my mind peacefully floats away. … 🐟🐟🐟 @epflstudents

#174 #The Salon 👀👀👀 … The room was soon filled with two facing sofas. A TV was installed into one of the walls that flashes a different news channel every 5 minutes. Coffee tables had turned into drawers filled with different magazines and newspapers. Was this space good enough to hold decent conversations? Initially not, the room was on booking basis. People were much inclined to book a conference room to exchange ideas, right up until a radical change happened. The room was enclosed with EMI shielding bronze panels. People could not use their phones in the room anymore. More and more flocked into the room to experience a place where media prevailed, but nothing could be verified. A new salon was born. Can the Neo-salon win a fight against internet forums? 👀👀👀 By Lloyd Lee
#173 of #thesalon ⏳⏳⏳ … “But perhaps in a time where any claim can be confirmed or denied via the internet (depending on where you look), the salon’s walls must soak up these claims and allow them to be tested in public at the slower rate of the salons of old. In writing facts and claims on the wall and sanding back them back if they are refuted, a map of contentious (and non contentious) topics will merge slowly over time. Charting the topography of the salon a room for debate.” … ⌛️⌛️⌛️ By Oscar Maguire
#cube172 of #thesalon is considers physicality intervening in the intangible of digital interactions: 📲 "… the eyes, the eyebrows, the tone, the smile, the body language… once again become essential within the reimagined Salon. Physical interaction and conversation intercepts the visitor’s daily digital feed and the infinite possibilities of shared language and thought are played out across the room. Words and laughter linger between groups… what more can we learn from the body behind the digital screen? 📲 BY EMMA COLTHURST @emcolthurst @bartlettarchucl
