Starting with a reflection around dating apps, like Tinder or Grindr, which mediate personal relationships, these capsules are places where users of the app could meet and have sex.
Tender Room, or how a closed-in space with two separate entrances enables us to reclaim our animal nature in a public space.
As a dedicated space for perverse actions, this public service element provides an opportunity for anybody to meet up in a capsule where sexual desires can unfold without being seen and without knowing who is awaiting you. Here, the vice squad ca no longer control our emotions Our cities, which have become ever more clinical and transparent, no longer provide us with caves; Tender Room, a true heterotopia as described by Foucault, fills this gap.
