"The World Behind" by Mo Moezzi
During the pandemic, entering the house is a socio-political experience to feel free from the fear of contamination and the burden of the restricted socially distanced world in the house's threshold. In this transition, a façade is a memorable element between two worlds: beneath the wall and behind the observer. The former is shown through sections in conventional drawings, while the latter is not usually drawn unless through a few dashed lines.
In this drawing, Vanna Venturi House is selected as a familiar symbol of the house in the history of architecture. I represented the pandemic world behind the observer by projecting dimension lines, as an indexical expression of social distancing measures, onto the liberated private space of the interior. While the exterior world is drawn by infinite, clear, and precise dimension lines, the façade outline is absent, and it is presented as ambiguous and boundless as an in-between space.
