- Systemic changes
Affordable Palace is a metaphor for our housing crisis. The problem of capitalism is that it is growth-based. With the current low interest-rate-policy, living space in cities is becoming a speculative object. But housing is not an investment! Housing are basic rights!
The current housing crisis requires a fundamental rethink of planning. Affordable Palace is a proposal for an ARCHITECTURE OF THE FUTURE, in which humans are in the centre of the design and not capital interests!
Affordable Palace is a manifesto for an ARCHITECTURE OF THE FUTURE:
1. It places the human in the centre of design
2. It discusses the question of private property and public welfare
3. It answer to the question „How do we want to live in future?“ with community
4. It is a contribution to the question of circularity and reduction of fossil resources
5. It is a contribution to a political discussion about wealth and poverty
6. It proposes densification instead of land consumption and sealing.
