Foreword
Home_2121 is a design architecture competition organized by archiol in association with artuminate.
The most significant architecture space that we experience throughout our life is our home, what will be the idea of home in the year 2121? With technological advancement in architecture, our idea of home has changed for the past 100 years and continues to do so even today. The competition expected the participants to propose a single family home. Define how residents interact with the proposed design in graphical representation.
Home_2121 competition received 121 entries from around the world.

JURY COMMENTS
"The project proposes a life where we start to understand the consequences of human evolution and pollution in the world and redefine our relationship with our planet— a simple design with striking characteristics of a living architecture: responsive, adaptable and customizable. "
"An interesting take on a world that is radically changed and hurt but still ordinary and recognizable. Professional level of design response, detailing and presentation. The structure and its technical characteristics feel ready to be used already now. Can be imagined as emergency housing but also as a lifestyle choice."
"thought is given to materiality and context.
Houses located on water and on desert will need different foundation considerations w.r.t design, material and weight, yet good attempt."

JURY COMMENTS
"Satisfies most completely all attributes looking for: an appealing design idea, elegant and straightforward. The idea forged human connectivity and intelligently reinterpreted individuality dynamically. Iconic architectural design concept without being dominating, rigid and fixed, combining water and landscape integration. Appreciate the 'void' concept within the diversity of the environment as a strategy. The not conventional interpretation of a home; interior views looks open and immersive. Provide for a full range of living zones to experience. The graphics and board layout are very pleasing and clear to understand."
"In a clearly inhospitable environment scenario, the idea and execution are a believable survival mechanism, although one could imagine technological prototyping to achieve this would be difficult under such conditions. Pessimistic entry but with very coherent world building."

JURY COMMENTS
"Despite the narrative, whereas am not sure the design proposal was in direct response to the brief & it could be applicable to both now and 100year hence, the design works beautifully. Bonus points for photos of model."
"Great connection between premise and concept. Dealing with population desity and the problems of tourism and extrapolating to a more exaggerated future. Beautiful presentation and a design that is detailed and loyal to multifunctionality and flexibility at many scales. The only thing that remains as an expectation is a more radical idea about the domestic space as a vacation/recreation space. To offer an alternative to travelling, the environment could be more appealing. Very coherent project overall."
"This proposal goes beyond the iconic to start constructing a story or a fairytale that gets embedded in the city's life. It emphasizes the building of the atmosphere and the experience through verticality and modular overlay."

JURY COMMENTS
"A project that can be read both with an emphasis on individuality and belonging to a community. Modular dynamics and spatial diversity contribute to defining an interesting way of living. Interior images are powerful and evocative of immersive water and terrestrial landscapes.
"The design is quite holistic in technical and spatial terms and the presentation of high level. It doesn't just use water as a necessity, but incorporates it in a poetic way. The main critique is the role of this living prototype in the imagined post-apocalyptic world. It is a technolgically sophisticated, potentially expensive, low density living space, with a very specifically designed social interaction. In the juror's eyes, if the basic living concept would be a bit more universal, it would fit the hypothesis of a global society on water a bit more."
"good representation and thought. Little thought to materiality, but details have been thought out and evident in drawings. This structure could actually work if built, with a few tweaks."

JURY COMMENTS
"A refreshingly original concept addressing ways of life and not extreme scenarios. The ideas are sophisticated and the response derived from serving the ideas and not superimposed forms. The superstructure is equally as conceptually supported as the units. A question that arises is the exlusive use of the superstructure by single mother households and what that segragation mean for the social environment. An adaptation of the typology to be more inclusive would benefit the proposal greatly."
"A radical and playful approach. The concept wins you both through its idea and the process of generating the design. The almost uncompromising and random method of combining the modules and coming together gives it the integrity it needs to represent a viable scenario"

JURY COMMENTS
"Beyond introducing an idea of orderly chaos, the concept could perhaps be a panacea in preventing degradation of the human condition - which is a fascinating idea. The idea of chaos could be a beneficial way of unravelling and revitalizing the quality of life while also removing the commoditized design of a uniform, identity-less format. "
"The concept is focused on a different kind of living with different spatial qualities and different habits and the design fulfils those very well. The design process is very interesting and creative. The future isn't specifically mentioned but hinted because of the entirely different living spaces. "
