Justine Huang, Keaton Kane
In approaching our vision for the house of the future, we were interested in looking at the subject of the nomad and the future of extreme consumerism. We have envisioned a house of temporality that exists in line with the ever changing and transient culture of nomadism. To facilitate this planned obsolescence, we have utilized the technology of 3D printing in combination with the impermanence of salt. As a vehicle for consumerist waste, we foresee the nomad’s desire to dispose of their homes post-use and have therefore chosen this material for its dissolvable qualities. To further facilitate the nomad’s need for change and individuality, the houses are designed to be carved into in order to mold the space to their needs and desires. Additionally, we have chosen to focus on the idea of exhibitionism and the celebration of everyday life by inviting the public to traverse the landscape of this housing project through a series of pathways that offer views into the houses. We envision this network of nomadic life proliferating throughout the whole of London via existing waterways.
