Arch out loud is an architectural research initiative dedicated to providing opportunities for designers to explore the current atmosphere of architectural and cultural thought
Description
“People who build their own home tend to be very courageous. These people are curious about life. They’re thinking about what it means to live in a house, rather than just buying a commodity and making it work.” – Tom KundigThe Home remains the most significant architectural place we experience throughout our lives. Home represents safety, ownership, privacy, and stability. Home is where we can be alone and with people we care about most. Historically, the home has been a place of permanence. Despite how chaotic our lives are, we cherish the consistency of sleeping in the same bed and performing the same daily rituals here. Yet, new trends in digitalization and globalization continue to reshape realms of everyday life and alter our physical environments, including our homes.
It is important to examine how we adapt our living spaces to these shifts
The only requirement of the Home competition is that proposals must examine the performance of a single unit. Designers can propose a unit that is part of a larger system or structure but their submission must detail how that single unit will be used.
Proposals can create a small single family home, multi family building, or adaptable structure, but no matter the scale, they must clearly represent the experience of one unit for living within the project.
Designers can propose any geographical location for their home design but should consider the relationship between their proposal and its siting. Additionally, designers can propose siteless homes.
