the process

April 2024, we do another of our favorite exercises - the What If

- What if the way we design our homes changes completely?
- Why would it change? Humanity did a long way to have the houses as we have them now
- Because it never changed since people did the primitive shelter. Walls, roof, it’s always the same
- Because the human physiology has never changed
- Well, with the climate change, maybe it’s time for it
- Aha! What if people stop adapting their homes to the climate change and would tweak their bodies instead?

...
This gave us a boost for a very intense brainstorming and a colorful speculation on one of the possible futures. 
A big-big thanks to Lena Tünkers for the inspiring collaboration!




Year 2097, October. 50°C in Eindhoven. People wear suits, a  second skin against extreme weather and a refuge from urban chaos. With this invention, public space has become home for  most people. For the first time in history, we don’t need to build  shelters - we wear them. Urban nomadism is the dominant  lifestyle - and it’s a good one. All services are freely available in  the streets, parks and squares of the city.

Not attempting to predict neither to suggest a certain future as desirable, the installation wants us to pause, reflect on current practices and inspire discourses on future implications and possible present-day actions. By speculating on extreme trajectories of current trends and removing the house as a shelter, it questions how we live, build and understand the relationship between private and public, indoor and outdoor. As such, Sex in the City touches upon multiple trends and weak signals visible in our society: growing individualism in Western cultures, nomadism as a lifestyle, urban loneliness and minimalism. The installation offers an experience with one of many possible futures that is both strange and familiar, gently provocative and encouraging, utopian and dystopian.
