Proto-Voting
A prototype for a new voting experience:The polling place is only used on average 4 days per year: as a result the polling place is usually an ad-hoc construction in an existing building.Voting is one form of each individual's voice in our democratic society; to have a successful, proper election:-Each vote must be counted-individuals' identity must be protected-voting laws upheldArchitecture can fulfill these constraints and propose an alternate use for the 361 other days of the year.First, a 200' Diameter ampitheatre is cut on the site to mark the boundary of the voting arena - within which no signs can be posted and no one can attempt to sway voters' decisionThe polling place itself consists of a guiding armature that leads from door, to check in, to the individual booths; the armature wraps around a volume which contains polling officials and surveillence equipment; all of this below 4 projection screens and enclosed in glass.To ensure every vote has a back-up record, and that proper procedures are followed:The voting booths themselves are behind the check in, and cameras point from above at the (NY State) voting machines without capturing the identity of the individual voters; in the same frame, the actions of the poll workers are captured, a record of votes and procedure is taken, and broadcast on the screens above.A running tally of votes is also displayed; short circuiting the time required for results to be realized, empowering voters with instant gratification or the ability to change their decisions based on collective response. The ampitheatre and the 4 projection screens above can be used at other times of the year as a theatre in the round - imagine watching baseball from multiple viewpoints or cinema from two perspectives.
