The agency of the edge condition of public and private space, can be felt strongly in its ability to create personal, programmatic and spatial ambiguity. It is for this reason that semi-public space, during times of political and social shift, is the most precarious and vulnerable. Providing a means of oversight that our state-craft has lost, the atrium’s role as a juridical space was implemented within the work-life heart of the various members of public service, from senators, to religious and cult practices. While the atrium’s notoriety has been in its section, its politic is embedded in the plan relationship of its walls informing a technology of power and a smooth gradient threshold between the potentially abusive power of private domain and the all-seeing realm of the street.
