In 2020, the age of surveillance capitalism, the content of George Orwell’s 1984 (1949) is happening in an alternative way: the value of privacy diminishes while human behavioural data is monetised. The project sets against this issue by translating the book’s storyline, symbolic objects and metaphors into architectural spaces. Mr Smith is designed to be a parallel protagonist for a hybrid cupboard dwelling. The cupboard can be unfolded, showing the duality of appearance and substance. The final drawings provide an unusual experience through odd viewpoints and glimpses that recontextualise the dwelling within reality.
