A CIVILIZATION WITHOUT HOMES

A radical prototype for inhabiting cities in the future, celebrating the disappearance of homes as we know them and taking command of public interiors for communal domestic activities. Based on a deep examination on Korean Bangs, and how the presence of Jimjilbangs has shifted drastically the interiors towards a non-conventional domesticity, the prototype presents a model for collective housing based on dispossession and communal living. A big communal house where the conventional understanding of the domestic is subverted merging it with publicness. The act of sleeping and resting is performed ritualistically and collectively as the last realm of resistance to the acceleration of production and the 24/7 urban rhythms. The project presents a renewed idea of cohabitation that examines the relation between the private domestic realm and public space, the eradication of former notions of the home and a radical take on the collective as the fundamental force to shape our cities.
