Objects and Spaces communicate unspoken rules

HOW CAN WE WORK WITH UNSPOKEN RULES?

  • A chair is not neutral
  • Sitting is not passive
  • Space is not open—it’s structured

“We don’t just use objects – we interpret them.”

“A space can be physically accessible but socially restrictive.”

Inspiration

Peer feedback session 22.04.2026:


-Just sitting is not enough to occupy space.

-Unspoken rules of sitting is most interesting.

-Documenting the process.

‘While making the mold of the stairs from the Strauss monument. I was using clay to make the imprint and it was reminded that an action is required in a way to be in space you don’t typically sit on.’

NEXT STEPS

-Site Specific documenting and investigation

-Material testing and development of aesthetics and visual language

-How much of the process or the moods should be included in the project?
