Design philosophy for artist Chris Jordan and architects Jay Atherton and Cy Keener are unique to their social and personal experience, but very similar in philosophy. Both sets of curators inhibit the very space and modules they curate for
personal and social change. They inhibit the space based on their personal beliefs of moderations
and daily behavioral involvement.
Chris Jordan curates his art pieces through studying the behaviors of society, and the importance of the negligence among the citizens inhabiting the society. One of the first example he curates is a “neo gothic factory” that emits massive
pollution. The image is a photography of plastic cups compilations that equal the number cups used in
American Airlines every 15 minutes. He focuses on the importance of it because in a micro
scoping level those cups are simple one or two pieces of cups, however in a bigger scale
these cups that are not recycled turns us into the neo-gothic factory that is destroying our inhabiting
space. Our negligence to recycle and re-use is creating an impact that is equally if not more
extensively damaging the natural resources in the earth. Another example he portrays is the
increasing number of breast augmentation that is no longer only an obsession and negligence
rather a fashion trend that is growing and dehumanizing our society our culture. However his
focus does not diminish in the daily decisions of an individual rather he asks us the viewers
of his photographs to look into our daily minimal decisions into its macro aesthetics. He asks his
audiences to feel the differences that our minimal decisions have for the massive outlook, his
photographs are not to blame rather create a motion for concern. To grow character amongst
individuals to create the changes necessary, for sustaining the billions around the world.
Almost to collaborate on the arts and theories of Chris Jordan architects Jay Atherton and Cy Keener designs to inhabit the spaces that they curate. The method they implement is to curate a design based on the ideologies of minimalist architecture. The two young architects and friends after graduating from Berkeley decided to come together to curate the space that they would occupy. They became the partner in design, build, and occupancy. In creating a structure with minimal furniture and a common access way they designed a building that serve as home, office, gallery space, and community space. Their decision to implement readily available materials to build with (concrete) minimized their expense and provided the
necessary thermal break required for living in Phoenix, Arizona. Furthermore the translucent glass implemented on the two sides of the buildings carefully considered not to be on the western side provide lighting for the bedrooms and privacy as well. The western wall designed to be the shaft wall is coated with black to absorb maximum heat for the two bathrooms and the kitchen water fixtures. The common space between the two bedrooms is the focal point of the
guests, with the two walls soaring to its side invites the solar lights from the east and
lights the room for the two young architects to enjoy any kind of arts during the night or
day.
Chris Jordan, Jay Atherton, and Cy Keener both focus on necessary social changes in their creations. While one invoke emotions necessary to invoke pride and strength necessary for macro social changes the other two found ways to transform
through needs. While Chris Jordan serve as the advocate for understanding the impact of our daily decisions in global platform, Jay Atherton and Cy Keener serve as the living proof of that advocacy.
