Empty Site #5: Dryer


An interesting thing I have noticed when contemplating these empty sites, in particular those which serve a purpose only periodically rather than all the time, is that these empty sites seem to frame a waste of space that could be used for something useful in the interim as it goes unused - perhaps representative of the luxury of abundant free space that we take for granted in the First World.

The dryer is another one of such sites which is emptier for longer periods of time than it is when full. Outside of in a household, dryers exist mainly in laundromats - an example of a site-within-a-site, but outside of a laundromat it loses it's site-relevance.
