ALAN SAUNDERS

Basing the design of Alan Saunders house upon interviews with a wide range of individuals has enabled my design to take a broad view Alan’s perception of the world. In interviews Alan opens an argument to ascertain the point of view of the interviewee and then uses contradictory questions to break apart their argument. He uses a straight-forward and logical approach which can sometime’s result in a heated response. However, Alan’s only goal is to explore a philosophical view and improve the audiences understanding by revealing the many sides of an argument.

The opposite can be said for Alan Saunders’s personal life. Whereas in interviews Alan reveals a great deal about the subject, in his personal life privacy is a key point. However, a strong aspect of Alan’s life that must also be factored into the design is his love for food and cooking. As a result my design separates public and private areas, while still allowing connection between the two. A public realm which can be enjoyed by both Alan and visitors is open to the elements. And the private realm is closed and protected, allowing only glimpses of the real life of Alan Saunders.
