With a decaying suburbia and people huddling together in the greater metropolitan areas the need for private space becomes greater and greater. At the same time that space is hard to come by when individuals live in shared apartments well after graduating from college or couples share a flat far smaller than they would need.

 

This is a series about techniques to carve out some private room and the devices people use to do so. There are some who really take a step back from the ever-present noise and turmoil to have a place for themselves and to really put their mind to something. Others seem to always have some sort of entertainment at the ready to even fill the tiniest holes in their day. One might almost think they are not shielding themselves from their surroundings, but try to avoid any risk of contemplation.

 

With this thought the borders between the two categories become somewhat blurry. Is someone who stares into his phone during a smoke brake avoiding the city or himself?
