Siesta City: Re-appropriation of public space, for public use, through a new network of siesta
Siesta City: Re-appropriating public space, for public use, through a network of siesta.Today, there is mushrooming unemployment amidst mountains of useless products. An hour of labour now produces more goods than has ever been the case in the history of humanity.So why does society, and those whom govern it, continue to exponentially increase the limits of working day?Drastically reformatting the normative working day will help to resuscitate our global ecology, quell workplace illness and create an unprecedented change in the workings of society. However, I feel that in reformatting the normative working day a greater overarching goal will be achieved in that the quality of leisure time within our lives will better whilst reducing the grand mass of manufactured objects.The intention of this architectural thesis project is to explore and reconfigure the normative working day by introducing the concept of siesta, an additional midday break, into the working day and culture of Glasgow City Centre and in doing this, re-appropriating the city’s public space for the public. Creating a ‘siesta network’ of spaces, spaces which will seek to enhance social cohesion and the quality of public leisure time. These spaces would also function to expose the public to both natural and manufactured ultra-violet radiation, boosting the public’s intake of Vitamin D and hence contributing positively to general public health as Scotland’s ill health has been scientifically linked to the lack of sunshine.“If every Man and Woman would work for four hours each day on something useful, that labour would produce sufficient to procure all the necessities and comforts of life, want and misery would be banished out of the World, and the rest of the 24 hours might be for leisure and pleasure.” - Benjamin Franklin
