In order to activate a possible further meaning for this possibly naive "idea
competition", merely based on poetics, this competition will be positioned
within MVRDV's research into the dense 3 dimensional city: KM3. This research
program wants to investigate the reaction of the city and the individual with
the upcoming demand for densified mixed use zones on the globe. It would be
published in 2002.
How does, in the case of this competition, the house play a role on city planning?
How does city planning influence the planning of the small house? What "data"
interfere?
This ambition reacts on the classical western position and therefore the very
definition of the house: its solitude position in the landscape, that has been
the ultimate dream for many families, architects and magazines, has brought
designs that are derived only from highly private and exclusive parameters.
-What happens now as these spaces become unpayable and unreachable?
-What houses, or homes will be made under superdense circumstances?
-What demands does the private domain claim in an overwhelming, dense and endless
surrounding?
-What intimacy does it require?
-How does one survive within this endless world?
-At what moment does the house start to react, to resist?
-What happens to the house when it is directly surrounded by others?
-What data intrude on the domestic?
-For instance the house could be surrounded by a water plant on top, a highway
on the right, a cemetery underneath, a neighbor on the left, an electric city
line in front, an Ikea at the back.
-What homes can we expect when it becomes a "niche" in a wider format?
-How should we include "life" within those, from a classical perspective,
seemingly characterless conditions?
-Can it make an alliance with this surrounding world and thus induce character?
-What alliances can then be found between the domestic and the outerworld?
-Does the waterplant give a new meaning and maybe new usage for the house for
instance?
-How can other professions (water engineers, sewage designers, road designers,
demographic engineers) become part of the operation?
-What benefits can be expected from these new alliances?
-Is it really impossible to live next to a nuclear power plant?
Construct (or find) therefore a dense mixed use SURROUNDing. Analyze the intruding
data. Define the house, including demographical applications (this is not a
house for an artist. It is for an "average" even generic occupancy).
And/or construct (or find) a house with a demographical meaning (this is not
a house for an artist. It is for an "average" even generic occupancy).
Define its dense mixed use SURROUNDing, based on systemized data. Can it formulate
a new idealism under these circumstances? -Winy Maas, Rotterdam, 16 february
