The “Smart-ologic Corian® Living” exhibition gave me the opportunity to develop a modular holistic house – a house that can be produced with minimal concave and convex panels and simple tooling. I have always been interested in this notion of a modular house, of efficient dwelling that can be erected simply and quickly, that can be inexpensive and democratic, and customizable with little cause and great effect. I always believed that architecture finally comes down to a system of components, but what we need are industrial elements that are more free form and flexible in their configuration as not to end up in the world of a grid. My other concern was to create these panels with less waste and to have the waste reused.
I wanted create a really positive, interesting, and artistic space for living that echoes the digital technorganic world we live in. “Smart-ologic Corian® Living” also gave me a venue to design interior objects in DuPont™ Corian® advanced surface – using also the versions from the 2010 collections Eco-Concrete ed Eco-Terrazzo with recycled content – and other DuPont materials that could be mass produced in a similar biomorphic way. With these elements the spaces are fluid and human and can communicate an organic, soft, pleasurable domestic environment.
I believe that the design of “Smart-ologic Corian® Living” is a metaphor for how technology, housing, furnishing, and space can work together to evoke an increased sense of experience, affect our psyche and bring us a better living, and also enable us to reduce the environmental imprint of our daily decisions and actions.
