WHEREABOUTS We are about to incessantly switch our WHEREABOUTS.
Flex-living is also a reaction to one of the issues of our era. Due to urbanization and the growing world population our living spaces are becoming smaller and smaller. With flex-living, we seize the opportunity to tackle this issue and make the best of it. From shared living in a community, to living a flying life or creating a life in our heads. WHEREABOUTS Living where we are.
prognose 2013 _ flex living
Our landscape is becoming increasingly digital. The rise of technology compresses our world and fades our physical boundaries. When we speak of ‘home’ we no longer feel tied to a marked out place. We experience the freedom of flex-living. Of being able to ‘land at home’ everywhere.
minimal_ function_ elementary_ cell_ uniform_
I’m living a flying life. I’m hopping between home, work, social and nonsocial obligations. Here and abroad. My home is a compact module. A cell. I use it as a visitor. In it is only the elementary. Form follows function and the overall look is uniform. I only need minimal space. I’m a flying visitor.
