Disobedient Bodies

In every city and hallway, bodies are herded, timed and scaled to fit systems designed for efficiency. We rush through corridors, ascend stairs, wait just enough, move just enough… rarely noticing the invisible rules that dictate how long we linger, where we pause, and how we circulate.

This experiment breaks those rules. The project follows a single body [me] misusing circulation: 

slowing where one should hurry, 

looping where one should pass,

lingering where one should move on. 

By exaggerating pauses and retracing steps, the work makes visible the temporal and circulatory constraints imposed by architecture and exposes how the body can resist and rewrite the logic of flow.

This project was completed in Design Tactics under Prof. Jia Weng.
