Domestic Daydreams MA Interior Architecture INSIDE The Hague, Nederland “The design of domestic space has not changed in the past decades. Architects and inhabitants of domestic space blindly follow norms of domestic space design without questioning them or critically reflecting on homes. While society is rapidly changing, our domestic spaces remain in the past. We care only about trends and tastes that are mechanisms of a capitalistic system, without taking into account our habits in space and all the affordances that common objects of domestic space offer. How do we move forward? Instead of hastily trying to solve problems that we don’t even understand, I choose to through speculation and humour find problems and unlearn domestic space. To imagine how things could be instead of how they should be. I make physical fictions from orphaned objects that I find on the streets, leftovers of changing domestic space. By using these objects as material, I do not rely on inaccessible or new technologies in order to speculate. They provide limitations, inspiration, familiarity and thereby a challenge. I start from an abstract idea that develops in my mind from asking the question “what if”. I then build through intuition, in an ad hoc way, for a specific purpose of creating a tool for research. These physical fictions change our habits, what objects of similar kind usually afford and create an implication. I return the physical fiction into the context of domestic space and play with it, think and talk about it. Through each object I find out something new. In that way I create knowledge as an outcome of my research-through-design, pose it as a rhetorical speculative question and create a starting point for me, but also for others to change how we approach the design of domestic space.“

Small Scale Commons MA Interior Architecture INSIDE The Hague, Nederland Small scale commons is a research project on how abandoned objects, found around the neighbourhood of Moerwijk, can be integrated back into the community and become commons. Through a process of intuitive assembly and reassembly, new objects that I make gain value and character. The hypothesis is that this new value together with the old one, and the relationship that has already been formed with the objects in the past, will transfer to the new objects that are made, and through that, make it possible for them to be established as commons of Moerwijk. The blurry identity of the new objects makes them both stand out and integrate into the neighbourhood. Through observation of the objects in public space, I believe that the nature of the objects and the process of their creation was successful in creating a relationship between the people and the objects in Moerwijk.

EASA Commons P.I.M.P.S., Verenigd Koninkrijk In the summer of 2023 I tutored a workshop at EASA Commons. At P.I.M.P.S (Prototypes of Integrated Mobilia from Private Stuff) we asked if once privately owned objects can, through the process of merging and reassembly into something new, become commons? We talked, collected material, documented it, played with it, talked, made many 10 second furniture prototypes using our bodies as the construction material, talked some more, figured out what was needed for us to make, made it, and then placed it in its new home. This process of acquiring old objects from people or from places, meeting people of SADACCA, talking to them about what we wanted to do, what they would want or need from us, hearing their stories, thoughts, doubts and enthusiasm, making new objects for the entrance lobby and the daycare centre garden, assembling them in and in front of the G-mill, inviting people to see them and try them, is what we believe created an emotional connection of all of us to these objects. However, how to figure out if these new objects now are truly commons? Perhaps the way to find out is give them time, come back and talk again to people that are using them, see how they feel about them and analyse that.
