ON LUXURY


ON LUXURY
The need to buy and the desire to buy has refined itself over and over again. The past has shown us that the politics of a plan or the spectacle of a ceiling always embedded a specific message. And as the goods created by a tastemaker embodies aspirations beyond the product’s original intrinsic value, so do these spaces for the life of each citizen.
People’s insatiable appetite for the absorption of these images is a measure of society’s investments. And on the scale of the city, it mythologizes people, histories, & geographies into inexhaustible brands. As a communal examination of current notions, by virtue of the pervasive extension of consumerism throughout our culture, deciphering the patterns can formulate an ultimate hypothetical and ironic "kit of parts luxury".
