Open House

With Open House, Matthew Mazzotta hopes to directly address the lack of public space in York, AL by providing a
physical location that becomes a common ground for community dialogue and activities. The new structure
carries the weight of the past through the materials that were salvaged and repurposed from the old structure,
most visibly the original pink siding. When Open House is fully unfolded, it provides an opportunity for people
to come together and experience the community from a new perspective. When it folds back up, it resembles
the original abandoned house, reminding people of the history of what was there before.
