There are two underground cavities which physically bend and turn in relation to each other as if they are feeling what the other is and responding themselves. they are interlinked in their acknowledgment of the other. As with the second definition, I want them to capture as an object Puccinini's concerns about genetics, consumerism, and technology.


Patricia Puccinini works with digital stills and video as well as sculpture with found materials. She designs her artwork and then has them made by tradespeople. - therefore her studio must be large enough for numerous people to be working at once. She should be able to design without being disturbed but also easily oversee the production of her work.

"Puccinini uses technology as the springboard for her imagination" as her studio is supposed to have inspired her work, it too must have a technological feel, and convey technology as a catalyst for change in social interaction. Puccinini graphically demonstrates the precarious situation of the human species and the intervention of technology with its natural evolutionary state. - as the studio will represent the technological I want the people entering the space to feel in awe of the space and slightly humbled and inadequate, so as to question their role in the world and evolution.

The studio must be able to accomodate such work, and will therefore have to be quite big with open spaces, and place to put the raw materials. The stairs in particular must facilitate easy transporation of the works- broad, low incline stairs. However a lot of her other work is digital and therefore will need much less space.
