Dates TBC

The home is a permanent manifestation of dwelling. It is a concept and an ideal, an interpretation of where we come from, culturally and socially. From our native country to our parents’ house, home has always been associated with belonging.

But this sense of belonging can also be a transitory experience, associated with being in a space for a defined period of time. Today’s home is different from both yesterday’s and tomorrow’s.

This workshop will focus on the concept of home as a collection of rooms. Rooms are the internal organs of a home, the places we inhabit. We eat in the kitchen, we read in the bedroom, we shower in the bathroom: every action we perform in a home takes place in a room.

Architects often conceive buildings in terms of forms (external compositions) and layouts (internal compositions), where the room is reduced to a mere label that defines a function. The elements that define a room are not entirely physical (walls, floors, ceilings); rather, rooms encompass narratives, atmospheres and memories.

This workshop will be divided into six studios, each led by an AA tutor and addressing a specific interpretation of home. In a world dominated by ever bigger gestures we will focus on investigating domestic existence
