In the previous iterations of The Future of Living, a collection of artefacts share a typical plan. Rather than seeking unification, they embrace domestic encounters, make leaps of scale visible, and aim for fun while making domestic space livable. Second Edition’s kitchen, Lina Bo Bardi’s chimney, Kazujo Sejima’s chair, a second-hand rug, a timber column, a solar panel or a water pipe, are equally worth seeing and manipulating by the dweller. Now, overlaid on an existing typology a collection of architectures must share this mix-matched desire. Instead of seeking unification, once again, the old brick building and the new timber structure express their differences with little negotiation. Not seeking a reasoned articulation between the architectures, we propose an almost wild juxtaposition of elements in relation to each other.
