TDS-379: Pacific Rim 10: Socal Sanctury

Project: This project explores our need to develop a place of rest and contemplation in our hectic global-digital world. Whether it's a destination in the mountains, desert or at the beach, we are searching for solutions to our stressful day-to-day environment. We will also need to reexamine opportunities in our homes for developing places of sanctuary, rest and relaxation. Whether it's the joy of a spa experience, the beauty of a meal or the exposure to nature, we need to unplug, recharge and re-focus. We will be exploring the boundaries of sanctuary in regards to our spatial environment, where and how we eat, what we wear and how we find balance in a busy world. In other words we will be developing and defining: spaces, products and lifestyle which elevate the way in which we encounter, interact and live our lives. Pacific Rim 10 will begin with field research to familiarize ourselves with Southern California's opportunities for creating sanctuary. We will visits sites from the mountains, deserts and to the sea to observe how Southern California looks at rest and relaxation. These visits will be the basis for our project
