Earth’s population is ever increasing. The challenge: housing, homes, affordable for all. How can we use new technology to create new spaces where there’s none left? How can sustainable construction revolutionize the construction industry? This documentary searches for answers - presenting innovative concepts for the challenges facing humanity. The objective: humane housing in ever shrinking space. “We are rethinking how we will build in the future. Those problems come to us with every project. But we choose not to see them. We choose to make architecture the autonomous object, taking the brief only from the client while we also have the responsibility for society. We have to explain our ambitions as architects to expand the agenda, be clever and respectful and honest. We have to teach young architects about this and talk much more about this.” Rahul Mehrotra, Professor for Urban Design

Thank you for this documentary, I watched it with my aging father, a retired Architect, who wrote his Architecture School Thesis on the idea of Planned Obsolescence in 1968 & was essentially told that what he was suggesting was "not true" and was "not practical." He was envisioning a future for architecture and design that was rooted less in the tradition of permanence and more in ideas of evolving, regenerating, compostability, sustainability with materials that would not destroy the earth but be from/with the earth. And so we watched your documentary, my father now quite unsteady, often sleeping most of his days, his own body deteriorating and throughout watching, he nodded and uttered small mmmmhmm mmmmhmmm to signify that he was not only engaged but was in solidarity. Afterwards, he spoke (something he rarely does these days) of your documentary: he wondered about the ecological relationships being proposed, if density can be sustained, if green spaces were a consideration in terms of the ideas of people being in community. And while he did say this out loud, I sensed that he was within a kind of wonder and gratitude to those offering radical pedagogical redesigning beyond "the master's tools" that will allow for the very necessity of architects to being elevated, to not fade into The Obsolete. Thank you for the gift of being able to witness my father return to a life-of-the-imagination-mind at a time when he seems to be slipping away ~

I agree completely, I think that the wet areas of a dwelling need to be separated and not multipurpose. There's something very unappealing about making salad in the same steamy, wet spot where you just had a shower. I think the big winner here was the partition room that can be opened up when you want to have a group of friends over or make a space for dancing or exercise or whatever. Though, no doubt all of this origami house stuff needs to be lived in and tested over years in real properties for the issues to be largely realised and the designs to be improved.

That French architect had an interesting point about designing for the future rather than what is practical for the current construction technology and norms. It probably takes some pretty pictures and a handful of astronomically expensive prototype buildings to inspire the greatest civic engineers and builders to begin considering the big question here - how can you build these complex, curved, cantilevered buildings at a reasonable price point, in a reasonable timeframe and in a safe manner? I'd love to see our cities transformed with beautiful buildings and vibrant spaces, and hope that the best of the best are out there figuring all this out. On the other hand, increasing the amount of public space at the cost of private space is a great idea, but I think many places in the world just aren't ready for it. I live in Perth, Western Australia, and violence, meth, worship of 'gangsta' rappers and alcoholism is a huge problem here. It's not safe to walk around the CBD at night, and what few public spaces we have in the city centre are not comfortable, they're inhabited by the druggos and alcoholics with nothing to lose, who'll snarl abuse at you if you don't give them money or a cigarette, or have screaming matches with each other at the entrance to the train station. I think the most important thing in my city is having accessibility and good roads for the police to arrive quickly when you need them. Before we begin phasing out roads and thinking about more communal living I think we need to figure out who on our streets needs to be helped back to their feet, and who needs to be cared for on a long term basis in order to make our city a safe and comfortable place to be. After that I imagine having more nicely sculptured, well lit and landscaped public space will be a leap forward for humanity.

26:22 is very interesting but there are a few issues I see there. Well, mainly just 1, which is that the kitchen is EXTREMELY small. There is an easy way to fix that: If you add a foot or 2 to the width (wall to wall, not window to door), then swap the kitchen to the sidewall, you can make it MUCH longer and include a fridge and oven. Current dimensions seems to be about 10x35 foot (350 sq feet), you can make that into 12x35 foot (420 sq feet). If you don't want to add the extra sq footage, then you can move the bathroom door to the hidden space where the bed is. By doing that you can double the small kitchen you have. It should barely be enough to add a fridge and oven. I believe the extra 2 foot to the width adds an extreme quality of life upgrade though. Aside from the longer kitchen, you can add so much more on the wall now. Extra storage, add another office or move it over there. Or other things. But aside from that, I really enjoyed this concept. I don't dislike the bed that lifts to the ceiling either.

27:32 That's seeing a problem and pretending it's really a solution. Fold-away and compact appliances, beds and furniture have existed for ages (although the fold-away bathroom is new), and although creating multi-functional spaces (and saving space) is great, trying to pretend people can live (comfortably) in tiny spaces is just unethical. In Japanese cities many people have to live in a tiny living space and having to use it for multiple functions (exactly like this), and people long for more space, which demonstrates the point. It's actually uncomfortable living too cramped, and some people have a low tolerance for it. In the developing world, people close to poverty are forced to live in tiny spaces because they have no other choice, and their living standard is terrible. If even now this is how so many people live, clearly the answer is not moving the majority of the world's population into even smaller living spaces. When so many large skyscrapers and even large sections of cities cater for such a small portion of the population (even counting the people who work there), then clearly there are real problems in how we manage space in cities. The answer is not making living size smaller for the majority, it's about redistributing space and changing how space is used, creating functional spaces that efficiently manage space and the various functions of different parts of cities, without forcing people to live in tiny rooms that are uncomfortable. The rest is managing over-population. Btw: that demonstration apartment looks like it uses space inefficiently as well as being tiny (e.g. the bed always takes up horizontal space inside the moving furniture), and the moving furniture can't be used if more than 1 person is in the apartment (people will get squished every time someone tries to use the bathroom). So that's not realistic anyway.

It's not about redistribution. It's about ending the downtown model in favor of a corridor model that allows for inexpensive slices of land for every family within a reasonable distance of a stretch of that corridor. And if you want to stop "overpopulation," begin with yourself.
