This reading talks about the modernist architect’s way of creating something that tears down all the walls of privacy. The main goal was to eliminate ornamentation and individual expression and create a design that was both functional and minimalistic. There is a correlation to the unhoused people in this article because they created a design that made much of the house visible to the public. Their lives were no longer hidden from the world. The transparent glass was seen everywhere. Modernist architects want to go into a discussion about inhabitants and homes. They want a home to be a place that was strictly a home, still, making it beautiful but designing it around the other elements that were important to the person living in the home and the environment that is being built on. Building a home that has both ornamentation and individual expression takes a lot of time and effort, the modernist architects were inspired by the mass production that was occurring during this time. The home in their view was a place to sleep and live, and it does not have to be an extension of someone. 

The Camp 13 cafe on campus dives into the appreciation of transparent glass. The four main exterior walls that make up the building are all made of transparent glass. You can’t fully see into the building because there is an architectural design that causes a barricade for the viewer to see through the transparent glass walls. The barricades create privacy for the individual inside, the people on the exterior can see inside the building if they are really looking. Compared to people who are unhoused they live in a life that is completely seen and have no choice but to be seen. The Camp 13 cafe creates an illusion that it is not private but the barricades ruin the illusion and the viewer realizes they can barely see in. The furniture inside is very minimal and wood based. Everything is very clean and minimalistic. The space allows all the light from the outside to come inside. To get into the buildings there are no doors and instead you have to press a button to have the door automatically open.
