Project Spirillum displays the possibility of an experimental education system reacting on current insufficient state of academic intitutions. With this project I am emphasizing the need for critical view on outdated notions of power and hierarchy in academic structures. It inherently opens up a discussion about safe space within these organizations and one's mental health that is directly affected by them.
- safe space in physical world
The fact that institutes cause or contribute to one's anxieties/ disorders/ panic attacks, etc., is not a novelty, and I am fully aware that it's a complex and systematic issue will take time to handle. But that's why I feel the urge to be part of the solution. When discussing this topic, I have found the often-overlooked function of public toilets and bathrooms to be perfectly suitable for our concept.
These spaces, which are inevitably in every functioning establishment, are hiding their potential behind the obvious primary function.
