Struga

     Struga will work within the existing architecture to create a new experience for both the passer-by and the users of the building. Struga is an installation aiming to create a conversation about place. With constant connection through social media and technology, our lives have become more public; at the same time, there is a larger social awareness and we demand more of the spaces we inhabit, asking them to function in more than purely utilitarian ways. The Brooklyn Borough Hall area is an exciting public space where people meet up, have lunch, buy produce, or simply pass by- the location is the crossroads of popular Brooklyn neighborhoods. The curtains of Struga will focus a spotlight on the comings and goings of those using the building and the vicinity around it. In bringing the idea of the interior to the exterior Struga brings the community to the forefront, bringing us all from our private lives within to the grander stage we are performing on in public. Whether instagramming a selfie, enjoying a tea, or just having a break before one has to go back to the office, Struga will provide a strong presence.
