From my all time greatest inspiration, Bruce Mau, I wish to introduce a new project from the Mau arena.
Following the Massive Change project, the magnificent Institute without Boundaries embarks on their second multi-year collaboration - to design a sustaining, universal and healthy human dwelling. That challenge is different depending on where you are. In developed countries, we have urban sprawl and monster houses that consume huge amounts of the world’s total energy supply while polluting the atmosphere. In developing countries, over a billion people live in urban slums or in the streets without shelter.
The World House Project is a multi-year, collaborative initiative led by the Institute without Boundaries that will explore the evolution of shelter and plan for the next generation of holistic housing design. The project will build on the research concepts of Institute without Boundaries' inaugural project, Massive Change, using the same method of interdisciplinary design innovation. The challenge: to design a sustaining, universal and healthy human dwelling. That challenge is different depending on where you are, for example in developing countries, over a billion people live in urban slums or in the streets without shelter. By the year 2030, three billion people in the developing world will need housing. That’s 96,150 housing units per day.
