OUTSOURCED DOMESTICITIES
The fading concept of the traditional subject
and its attachment to a specific place or lineage as a normative lifestyle, is
resulting in a pattern that is much more diverse and multi-articulated.
Traditional ways of living are being reinvented due to the societal changes and
individual needs.
There are 42% of single households in Tokyo,
and the development of the hyper capitalist system is transforming traditional
homes into a network of rental domestic services scattered throughout the city.
What does ‘home’ mean for them? Imagine that
one day you wake up and all the activities you do in your house become a rental
experience.
Outsourced domesticity no longer talks about
nomad minimal houses that can be adapted to any city spot. Culture of access
has even dematerialized it into a disconnected home-idea.
The concept of outsourced home revolves
around the collection of some paid-for domestic experiences scattered
throughout the city to build a collage of ideas that show its materiality.
We presented a heterotopic
frame of XXI Century homes.
