The HOME competition invites all designers to explore ideas of domestic architecture for the future. These investigations present us with new notions of home environments that completely rethink the home, like Peter Eisenman’s House VI or Kurokawa’s Nagakin Capsule Tower, and sometimes rethink specific things within a home, like the elevator in OMA’s Maison Bordeaux. Through the ages, architects have continuously investigated the role that homes play in our lives. Despite how chaotic our lives are, we cherish the consistency of sleeping in the same bed and performing the same daily rituals here. Historically, the home has been a place of permanence. Home is where we can be alone and with people we care about most. Home represents safety, ownership, privacy, and stability. Nonetheless, “home” remains the most significant architectural place we experience throughout our lives. In recent times, almost everyone has had to confront their perspective of “home” as these spaces have evolved to incorporate so many aspects of our daily lives. How do we define “home”? Although our ideas about home are constantly being rethought, the careful examination of “home” has recently come to the attention of architects and nonarchitects alike.
