Project Portfolio. The Adequate Living Space concept

University essay from Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk

Abstract: The thesis is taking place beyond our western-thinking based perception. Harsh, radical and from an opposite kind of viewing angle it is cute for the ears, but the studies based on nowadays visible facts, and the conclusions are truly believed by the author. On the first place the project includes a wide range of theoretical research which observation began with the questioned field of “fundamental human needs”. On the second place it is also including an imagined future scenario. A vision about how our World will look like in 2050, if we still stick to sustainable development and not to sustainable life. On the third place, as a conclusion, it contains a proposition about an equivalent human-needs-structure for a more balanced future. A holistic structure which is based on a disappearing culture’s lifelong-learning ideals. On the fourth but not on the last place, the thesis contains an offer as a tactile outcome of the project. A Skeleton as a framework of a dwelling for adequate and healthy life, called the Sprout. The Sprout shows a minimized home, designed without synthetic components and forced esoterical shaping by using the memory of ancient ruins. Preparation and manufacturing are calibrated through each generation. It is a framework which has to be supplemented by the habitant to accomplish their home, by using available resources from the stated-direct-environment. Main values and beliefs are coded into the structure.
