Hof
This is a rigid expression of the seperation of work and living, although both cell based, the visual language of the two opposite sides is very different from each other. The place where the prostitutes work is shelled by an enormous semi-transparent visor on which usefull information about the state of the city (boat arrival times, event announcements, or even commercials) are projected. This makes the prostitution rooms visual anchors for the passing urbanite, thus always reminding the user of what goes on behind the visor without giving the visitors of the prostitutes the feeling they are overly watched.
The space behind the visor becomes a shadowy and colourful place due to the materialization of the visor, and the information being projected on it. The visor can also become representative of what is taking place behind it through the use of energy generated by coupling people. This energy can be used to power LED lights in the visor which are individually connected to the different rooms, creating an ever different play of light representing the activities taking place behind the visor.
