Description
Studio: The Future of Living (Together)
This interdisciplinary studio offered by the IKEA x UTS Future Living Lab explores the future of living in the home in the post-covid-age.
Our desire for stability and certainty as well as our need for privacy and social interaction are challenged by the new reality of (post)pandemic urban living. The need for safety and comfort in the home has become more important than ever before.
According to the 2020 IKEA pulse report ‘ home has become everything: our workplace, our school, our sanctuary, our boundary’.
As we are moving in and out of lockdown, the domestic environment needs to adapt dynamically to the conditions of the constantly evolving ‘new normal’.
In this studio, stduents focus on the living room as the centre of the house.
How can Interior Architecture and Architecture respond to these challenges creatively? How does one redefine living (together) in the digital and post-covid- age? What is the future of living?
This elective engages with IKEA to push the boundaries of innovation through researching and implementing new design approaches to address unique Australian needs of domestic life, linked to the future of living in the digital and post-covid age. Students are paired across the disciplines and develop projects that fuse object and spatial design to create models that form the exhibition and documentation to close the studio. This elective engages with IKEA at a high level to push the boundaries of innovation through researching and implementing new design approaches to address unique Australian needs of domestic life, linked to atmospheric, multi-sensory and emotive design.
