Architectural Intervention

The space is imagined as a re-incarnation of itself, the JR Watkins Apothecary.

The behavior of the elevators reveal the buildings occupation and use by transforming into the actuators for a unique composition of light, sound and space. The architectural interventions and programming, which re-shape the building, take point of departure from the abnormal behavior of the elevator cabs and from the historical use of the building. The grotto-esque features: the gaping maw, the descent into the unknown, the technological secrecy, and the elusive niche—is embedded in the design of each intervention.
