HOME Competition 2020 Results
Architectural initiative arch out loud has released the winners of its’ HOME Competition 2020, an annual competition where designers are asked “What is the future of HOME?” Proposals from all over the world were submitted to the competition and approached this question from three main perspectives: innovation, adaptability, and pragmaticism.
The Home remains the most significant architectural place we experience throughout our lives. Home represents safety, ownership, privacy, and stability. Home is where we can be alone and with people we care about most. Historically, the home has been a place of permanence. Despite how chaotic our lives are, we cherish the consistency of sleeping in the same bed and performing the same daily rituals here. Yet, new trends in digitalization and globalization continue to reshape realms of everyday life and alter our physical environments, including our homes. It is important to examine how we adapt our living spaces to these shifts.
The HOME competition invited all designers to explore ideas of domestic architecture for the future. Designers considered the impacts of global population shifts, the proximity of major cities to coastlines, new materials and building techniques, as well as the rise of co-housing, tiny homes, smart houses and marketplaces like Airbnb. The HOME Competition creates a platform to speculate the ways new technological, political, environmental and cultural changes can redefine the spaces where we live.
The overall winner, ‘Shadow Housing’, by Jeffrey Liu and Haylie Chan is a model for collective living in a post-pandemic era: an open-air live/work commons that configures new domestic schedules of work and care through an architecture of light and shadows. As COVID-19 ruptures the boundary between the office and the home, the available time for domestic labor such as cooking or childcare is being subsumed by a “flexible” expanded workday. While the eight hour workday reflects an abstracted “clock time” coextensive with the capitalist emphasis on productive labor over unwaged housework, Shadow Housing embodies a natural time that tethers the workday to the movement of the sun, establishing a spatial and temporal separation between work and the necessary labor of care.
Other notable projects include the ‘Biohackers Residence’ by Superficium-Samuel Esses, and Jonathan Wong, which took the innovation award for a design that considers what it means to be human. Carla Bonilla Huaroc won the adaptability award with ‘Stuyvesanttown’, which transforms luxury condos in New York City into transitional housing for people leaving prison. And finally, the pragmatic winner was ‘A House is Not a Home’ by Qin Ye Chen and Yiwen Wang. This project seeks to facilitate a strong sense of community engagement.
