Club 45
Architecture
2017


Club is a public space that is constructed by carefully designing the level of information that can be accessed. It is a labyrinth that both physically disorients people in space and conceptually reversed ideas of liberation versus confinement, permanence versus ephemerality, stillness and motion, seeing and being seen. It is a spectacle without audiences, a voyeurism without victims.

The typology of the club is modeled on the Italian Palazzo. The prototype of the gentlemen's club was modeled on the Farnese Palace, which stands in an open space. In the 19th and 20th centuries, gentleman's clubs were regarded as a central part of elite men's lives. They are modeled on a regular home and designed for men’s domestic needs.
