Repurposing ...The Telephone Booth

Sunday, March 29, 2015

A couple of weeks ago I came across a 2012 Japanese art installation (below) involving old telephone booths and goldfish. It was such a beautiful and brilliant idea that I not only wanted to share it but investigate how others were converting this dated architecture.

Contexture Design's 'Home Phone' sought to assist the homeless by providing them with the basic necessity –  a home.  While it may not be the best solution to conquering the homeless problem in the city, they believe it's an "opportunity for discussion."

Seeking wifi? Don't pass by these vintage booths too quickly. Most, if not all of them, have been changed into free public wifi stations where you can plug in and recharge.

Creatives Benoit Deseille and Benedetto Bufalino created installations over several years that involved exotic fish throughout Europe. Unlike the Japanese one above this one lights up at night.
