The popularization of science has historically been understood as the extension of experience from the few to the many. In many ways, determined by the manner of seeing, early modern science and fact-making gained credibility through reproducibility, or rather, the multiplication of witnessing. Through the multiplication of witnessed experiences, Robert Boyle’s seventeenth century experiments in pneumatics represent the development of the experimental performance, making matters of fact both social and epistemological.

The irreducible experience of living in contemporary housing is defined through the occupation of a single room. As the most fundamental architectural component, rooms are conventionally understood as demarcated, delineated, or enclosed spaces. In light of concerns regarding embodied carbon, as well as a newfound preoccupation regarding ventilation instantiated by the COVID-19 pandemic, this project proposes a new spatial and environmental condition that is somewhat indoors and somewhat outdoors. Through the integration of indoor, mid-door, and outdoor rooms, this project speculates on new scales and housing typologies that might enable residents of the Hackney Wick region of London to live alone, and work alone, together.
