Home Futures exhibition

Are we living in the way that pioneering architects and designers throughout the 20th century predicted? or has our idea of home proved resistant to real change? Whether it was the dream of the fully mechanised home or the notion that technology might liberate us from home altogether, the domestic realm was a site of endless invention and speculation. But what happened to those visions? Alongside emblematic positions of Yona Friedman, Atelier van Lieshout and Enzo Mari, OpenStructures presented its first ‘Family of Objects’ within the ‘Living Autonomously’ section. It consists of products for the home that have a second, third or fourth use planned into their DNA. Next to these original objects and object families by Atelier Ternier, Normal Studio, Studio Minale Maeda and Disarming Design from Palestine, new hacks by Raw Color and OS_Studio show the future potential of dis- and re-assembled building parts into new functions.
