A Sac of Rooms Three Times a Day stuffs the four rooms of an 800-square-foot house into a building envelope of a 500-square-foot bungalow in an art installation at a Seattle architectural office.

In an exploration between the relationship of occupied space to the occupants, artist and architect Alex Schweder has created a bungalow-sized transparent vinyl envelope measuring 21'x28'x9' that contains four smaller "rooms" that contain doors, windows and interior walls. The smaller sacs regularly inflate and deflate inside the larger envelope in choreographed sequence several times a day at Suyama Space. The firm, Suyama Peterson Deguchi, is an architectural design company that recognizes the relationship between architecture, art and design by sponsoring exhibits in the space adjacent to their offices.
