Thank you for posting this. I am ever increasing my questioning of public/shared/private space. As I understand it today, these terms are purely subjective. What I consider a private space might not be what is legally private, or what someone else might consider private. And as I raise the questions to myself, it is shown here even further how someone else can define what is public and private. What is the most interesting piece of this whole equation is the element of "control." We as westerners especially, are concerned with control. We want to believe we are in control even when we are not. I am no different than the rest of my fellow citizens, but this project raises another question for me. Why do I feel like I have the right to gain control over public/private spaces? This is a really awesome project! Thank you for posting this.
