Township of Domestic Parts : Made in Taiwan
Venice, Italy
The Township of Domestic Parts: Made in Taiwan is a collection of nine small houses, each with a single program. Scattered inside the Palazzo delle Prigioni, it forms an interior township of misfit parts. Each house embodies one domestic program, such as the House of Sleep, or the House of Social Eating.
Domesticity is possibly one of the most fundamental beginnings of architecture. In some ways, we are trying to make a direct correlation between privacy and the production of program. There is something very modern about the idea of programmatic specificity. In the Manor of Nietzsche, architectural critic Jeffrey Kipnis imposed a question: 'Did the cavemen set out looking for a two bedroom cave''
Architectural program, particularly throughout the 20th century, has evolved into a highly specialized vocabulary in the composition of the interior, and at times it even impacts the exterior. Through the institutionalization of architectural program, we have set standards for evaluation as well as enhancing privacy, our civilization seem to have adapted to a new norm in the domestic grammar over the last 150 years.
As structures not quite big enough to be architecture and too large to be furniture, the nine small houses can be defined as superfurnitures. Isolating the diagrams of part-to-whole relationship and part-to-part relationships, we condensed each domestic program into its own freestanding superfurniture with character.
While this pavilion is fully functional as a guesthouse for international visitors, it also works through three thoughts in the discipline of architecture: domestic programmes as characters, private inverted public, and interior as township.
Though this project functions as a guesthouse, it should also be considered both as an exhibition and an installation. As a fully functional oasis, the nine houses can be considered architectural installations ' the experience is a 1:1 translation, not through photography or other means of representations.
