Living Forms

Abstract: This project is about imagining new ways we live at home, and new objects to take place. The project is based on personal interests, short case studies, and observation on current human conditions. The major concept was developed with constant attention on the mobility of domestic furniture, and how this general concept shape shifts to manifest different ideologies of different backgrounds. In the realization of social crisis today and its deterioration further into the 21st century, the project highlights the degradation of functions and resources urban space can provide for individuals, thus the proposal for an living environment with implemented furniture that enhances interaction with physical, and active use of domestic spaces without overly relying on the outside world and the globalization logistics. The project’s realization is a shelf + hanger unit(Named Living Form #1) with two critical features: The relocation of storage spaces, and the reinvigoration of hanging and suspending. The Prototype reflects a short chapter of the greater narrative and will be continued as part of the author’s aspiration.
