Context and Methodology
Domestic Bathroom And The Systems Around It
In order to project alternate plumbing futures, the research first establihes a baseline understand of plumbing standard and the historic context that shaped their formulations
1. Secondary research: the context of history and elements around domestic bathrooms
2. Primary research: building code review
The knowledge acquired is then applied to speculative prototypes that disrupt typical plumbing applications by reimagining the acoustic qualities of plumbing and reimagining their sonoric capacity to shape space:
3. Acoustical Design Research: prototyping piping instruments
In order to share the discoveries with a broad popular audience, beyond our disciplinary bounds, the research is delivered through:
4. Perform the art by opera: cooperate with people who are professional in the field of music
