Bed-room, a bed that is a room, that is a space. It floats (positioned on four blue wheels) but only when it is pushed hard since it’s heavy; but still – a “portable habitat”. “The Illegal hotel” is an installation of sleeping pods for interns disguised as the lighting system of an architectural office. It unveils the precarious life and the economic regime that the recently graduate architecture students confront when they leave the school. Cesar lived in a brand-new, high-ceiling, over-windowed apartment in the old city of Barcelona. A loft, they called it. However he was incapable to enjoy, work, cook, disrupt, practice, procrastinate, eat or fuck comfortably in the room he lived in. Manhole agglutinates a mountain range of architectural preconceptions regarding temporary housing: light, small, deployable, textile, mass-produced, cheap, uncomfortable, flexible, de-contextualized, connectable, simple, impermeable, movable and, eventually, user-friendly. |
