W.F.H. (2/20 - 3/6) ONLINE

from $200.00

Digital technologies, particularly the evolution of the smart phone, have profoundly reshaped contemporary notions of home. Domestic space, once understood as a private sanctuary physically bounded from the outside world has drastically transformed into a highly fluid and digitally connected sphere, radically blurring boundaries between home and public life. Remote work and workplace intrusion, home as a social media stage, home as an entertainment hub, and home as the epicenter for shopping and consumption habits are a few of the many ways in which the house has been transformed into a setting for continuous and unavoidable digital contact. 

Today, the home is the front line of attention fracking. 

This three-session virtual course will bring attention to this radical transformation of our domestic space and interrogate the implications of global connectivity taking over local intimacy. Using the very tools (laptops, tablets, smartphones etc.) and platforms we are critically examining, the seminar will bring together participants from all over the world to examine how digital intrusions have reshaped our private lives. In doing so, we will conceive spatial strategies to reimagine and sustain the life-giving sanctuaries of home and community. 

Taught by Felipe Correa, architect and founder of Somatic Collaborative, a NYC-based design practice.

Feb 20th - Mar 6th
