// "the slab lab"


This was the most recent project produce by my studio. Each of us was given a box of the same dimension, within it we were to design a test unit for habitation that challenge the typical mass housing conventions. A total of 70 boxes with radical architectural variations were produced in the end. The finished products were momentarily stacked together in a slab building fashion, one can imagine an apartment building with a pixelated facade, where each pixel/unit is expressed differently according to the occupant's unique way of living. For a moment, the project became a model of domesticity with an agenda of celebrating individuality within the collective herd. Imagine the Borneo Sporenburg in stacks.

  3. I was very uncultured back then... so I only went to the whore houses, Van Gogh Museum, and the Heineken factory!! and Mickey D's abunch of times.

    So to answer the question, did I goto Boreno when I went to Amsterdam? No, I haven't got the faintest idea regarding Borneo until I saw your photos...
