The project is located on the green belt of London, which is a zone that prevent further growth of sprawl; prevents neighbouring towns from merging into one another. Our goal was to create a space that hasn’t been inhabited before, in a form that condenses a city into a singular building. By using OMA’s unbuilt projects from the 1990s as precedents, this project hopes to discover the relationship between the domestic and the collective where both entities create a tension zone where interaction happens.

 

We defined the “collective” as a social space that is accessible to people & entities that are shared or motivated by at least one common issue or interest. Various programs can be seen there such as a theater, a club, a park etc. On the other side, the domestic is solely a house where it is a familiar space that relates to the running of a home, a space surrounding a person which they regard as psychologically theirs. These two elements create a tension zone which is anopportunity for the users to interact with one another through  acknowledgment of physical presence. (conversation or observation)
