Beschreibung
During this studio we explore the idea of living outside the city - together - by developing housing schemes with a collective of inhabitants.
The book “Walden” of Henry David Thoreau describes our romantic longing for total freedom, out in the forest. Preferably as simple and autonomous as possible, without any connection with the outside world. Which means both seeking for freedom as escaping from the reality. Contemporary movements of suburbanization are related to this instinct of striving for freedom and individuality. However, this results in endless sprawl in several places. A frightening scenario, as it consumes our vacant land, our nature. And it is causing more traffic, pollution and more swimming pools.
Yet, how could we as architects find answers to this urge in society, without completely disqualifying this longing? During this studio we explore the idea of living outside the city - together - by developing housing schemes with a collective of inhabitants.
