PET AND THE CITY

How does the construction evolve under current consumerism that forms the future architectural typologies? In a consumer economy society today, people regard life as a consumer product. Thus, I choose pets and homes, which are both close companions to people, as examples to develop concepts for this project. With this aim, I research various types of relationships between pets and modern people and classify desires that people capture from pets as my mechanisms to create real luxury “Housing 3.0”. Furthermore, this new redefinition of the residential space offers different scales of objects and spaces to allow residents to extend their wishes. By living in “Housing 3.0”, people can meet diverse kind of requests, which they cannot get from everyday life. “Housing 3.0” is an avatar of oneself, which is able to substitute their unaccomplished goals. This new typology of residential architecture is real luxury housing for people who want their life dream come true.
