rentism has focused the world’s economy to the sale of
intellectual property. tangible objects are produced by a replicator through
code. a desire has grown for what the replicator cannot replicate; the real.
at the rehabilitation centre for reality, residences are
greeted by a familiar environment; they work where they live. they are given a
choice of four occupations; farmer, sewer, maker, cook. staff educate and
assist patients in their physical labour. compensation is given as access to
our other amenities; the park, the museum, the recreation centre. to create a
friendly environment, architectural typologies are defined by archetypical
forms. our generations desire for complexity in design, due to the abundant
capabilities of the replicator is met through materiality.
a super material,
self-supporting, insulating and service providing deforms the archetypical
architecture through the nature of its web-like characteristics. homes are hung
above the work space to provide residences the comfort of privacy. like physical
labour, real-life socializing will be exhaustive. However, full rehabilitation
requires socialization. the most difficult, yet most transformative task to
perform, is at the centre of each residential community; the social space.
