Description

The way we live is rapidly changing under pressure from multiple forces - financial, environmental, technological, geopolitical. What we used to call home may not even exist anymore, having transmuted into a financial commodity measured in sqm (square meters). Yet, domestic space ceased long ago to be a central preoccupation of architecture. SQM, a research project commissioned by Biennale Interieur for its 2014 edition in Kortrijk, Belgium, charts this trajectory, exploring a selection of pivotal, radical, or distopian homes and their interiors - from Osama bin Laden's compound to apartment living in the age of Airbnb.
