...and an answer to the question: what will tomorrow look like?
L'Espace Féminin places the spotlight on the contribution to the exhibition HOW SOON IS NOW from Something Fantastic, a young, Berlin-based architectural practice "committed to smart, touching, simple architecture." Alongside Julian Schubert and Leonard Streich, our friend Elena Schütz co-founded the practice. This project complements the publications, teaching and work for private clients, all of which entail an purposeful and profound involvement in the real world.
This Is Tomorrow (für einen Kopfarbeiter) represents the studio's ideas of what tomorrow should be like.
The description of the process that underpinned this project exemplifies the beautiful simplicity of Something Fantastic's approach.
Basic statements that were first presented at one of the group's early meetings, like 'it will be painted,' 'it will be thin,' 'it will be heavy,' 'it will have a roof,' and 'not everything will be aligned,' were translated and combined into several objects...
The openness of this scheme, coupled with its flexibility, demonstrates a conscious engagement with reality that L'Espace Féminin hopes to foster. What at first appears to be a set of abstractions to guide the design process becomes a responsive, practical solution to tomorrow's dynamic existence and its blurring of the functions of space.
