Vito Acconci Security Zone, 1971 

This video was used during a lecture I presented for first year students from the department Interior and Furniture Design, Royal Academy of Art, The Hague. The lecture addresses the sometimes fascinating relationship between furniture and architectural space. Well-known buildings are paired with extraordinary furniture pieces, that present special relationships by means of material, spatial and transitional relationships, social dynamics, or the sheer mythical connection between landscape, architecture and furniture. The archetypical furniture pieces are: Chair, Bed, Bench, Table, and Chimney.
