Hyper House and Home explores personal home making in relation to critical thinking, and aims to provoke the vast poetic and political potential of do-it-yourself design. The project examines the creative/analytic dynamic that occurs between a client and an architect when planning domestic space, seeks out the potential of user-driven technologies, reviews modern and contemporary self-documenting artistic practices, and postulates strategies for public engagement of domestic space. It looks for ways in which the digitalization of architecture, design, and media open up new modes of political and cultural agency, and at how these modes feed back to affect design, visualization, and computation.
