Housing the Human, a collaboration between five European organizations and institutions, took place on October 18th and 19th at Radialsystem in Berlin. The two-day festival showcased five selected prototypes by participating architects, designers and industry professionals—Certain Measures, Mae-Ling Lokko, Simone C Niquille/Technoflesh, Lucia Tahan and Dasha Tsapenko—which addressed the future of human living, shared resources and collective spaces. These final prototypes consisted of interactive room-spanning installations, films and performances. The participants combined research and design to explore the possibilities of living and social coexistence inherent within communal space and shared resources.
In the below video, the Art Directors of Housing the Human, Freo Majer and Jan Boelen, speak about the festival’s aims, and the designers shed light on their individual proposals for future living.
