An ensemble of mental breaks as a socially accepted part of our daily routines and part of the urban structure
How will we spend our days in 2050? when rethinking all parts of our current daily routines, we may ask ourselves why we spend it the way we do. i want to state that we should base our future daily routines on intervals of work and rest, consuming our prosperity as free time. my project stimulates these new routines and thereby offers a system of mentral breaks, as a socially accepted part of our future routines, and part of the urban structure.
the design is based on an ensemble of a tower, a square and a block. these volumes don't only respond to their direct surroundings, but also relate to the human poses 'standing', 'laying' and 'sitting'. these poses then again stand for the type of functions they host. the tower of talks is the standing and active one, hosting social functions such as room for debate. the square is the laying one, hosting baths and space for contemplation. house of rituals is the sitting one, offering treatments. When you are moving through the complex, the experience is an important part of it. Looking at the city from a different perspective- the city becomes somewhat unreal. The layers of materialisation show this distanciation, but also the contrast between the human scale, and the imposing spaces, referring to the ancient bathhouse. It is claiming back room for human relaxation and mental rest.
We can handle the good life, if only we take the time.
