The dining table formed the design reference for Sarah Wigglesworth's new residence in London. The 4 drawings below were an exploration of the idea of order in architecture, documenting the transformation of the ordered set table into a house plan. From the perfect plan to the slowly undermined stability during the course of occupation to the palimpsest of the table and its remains after the diners have left.
I thought this was an interesting way to conceive a plan and intend to try this out during my project.
Rationale - the dining table is representative of the normal daily social interactions involved in sharing a meal. This interaction is important for building and restoring normal relationships, an idea worth pursuing in my 'architectural placebo' dwellings.
