Domesticity in Seoul is no longer something that happens in a single place: the house. But something that is constructed by connecting different spaces spread out within the city. Home is not spatially fixed, unitary and consistent; but discontinuous, fragmented and constantly changing.
서울의 집은 더 이상 단일장소가 아니다 : 집. 도시안에 다른공간들을 연결함으로써 조성할 수 있는 것.
집은 공간적으로 고정되거나 일원화 그리고 변함없는 것이 아니라 해체될수도 있으며 여러 곳에 위치할 수 있으며 지속적으로 변화가 가능하다.


Seoul is the strategy to segregate social realities to make daily life un-political. But every depoliticing strategy gets its response. A number of urban home fragments act as parliamentary spaces where diversity meets and is confronted. These are the fragments the project takes into account and prototypes.

Discussion can happen in a warm space based on affection. This is our proposal: To bring politics and conflict into ordinary life.
토론은 애정을 바탕으로 따듯한 공간에서 이루어질 수 있다. 이것이 우리가 바라는 점이다. 정치적인 것들과 혼란을 우리의 일상생활에 가지고오는 것 말이다.
