The Foldable House

This project explores the concept of “home” for the urban nomad and the relationship between mobility and logistics, which conferes a new status to architecture that relates to time as distinguished from space and, thus it is materialised as a landscape of bodies, societal trends, technologies, geopolicies…

Domestic settings, better than any other architecture reflect on how these characteristics contribute to processes of subject formation and placemaking, questioning the various definitions of home as a stony-solid unit based in family, privacy and property.

In this case, the device contains all the necessary furniture to support the daily actions performed in any house. The design follows the principles of knock-down furniture, which are IKEA´s leitmotiv and the first design criteria in a money/time -saving consumerist culture.
