Special Exhibition
"Happy Campers" curated by Fredrik Helander, Johanna Lenander and Brett Littman
An interactive exhibition that will grow and evolve during Mobile Living. Four young collaborative design groups from Sweden, defyra, Research & Development, Uglycute and We Work in a Fragile Material, will build their installations on site with the help of the public. In other words, they will set up a metaphorical 'camp ground' in order to explore issues of collaboration, social interaction, the Swedish relationship to nature, and mobile living. Inter-group interaction as well as audience participation will be requested and encouraged. A special "Campfire Discussion" on Tuesday, May 23, 2006 from 3 - 5pm at the Skylight studio will act as an opportunity for discussions and exchange on the issue of the economics of collaboration.
The Tiny Living Shop
Will offer design items that cater to the global nomad. Travel related such as foldable, inflatable, double-use and stackable items will be represented as well as books and publications on the subject that will be available for purchase.
Shuttle Vehicles by ZIPCAR
Mobile Living branded vehicles will shuttle attendess to and from the Javits Center, The Whitney at Altria, and the Mobile Living show. A ZIP map of locations will be available.
Educational Presentations
The HOME House Project Gallery
The HOME House Project was organized by the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, Winston-Salem, North Carolina
A Competition and Exhibition.
The HOME House Project is an ambitious, multi-year, multi-tiered initiative that addresses the future of affordable housing. For the first component of the project, SECCA challenged artists and architects to propose new designs for affordable and sustainable single-family housing for low-and moderate income-families. These designs are guided by the existing building criteria and price parameters for typical three-and four-bedroom Habitat for Humanity houses, supplied by Habitat International in Americus, Georgia. Competition participants were required to use the Habitat information as a point of departure. In addition, the design criteria focuses on green and sustainable materials, technologies, and methods—areas that we feel housing design and construction must occupy in the immediate future. This combination offers a pathway to engage low-and moderate-income families, communities, cultural, humanitarian, and, perhaps, commercial organizations in the advantages of sustainability, quality design and workmanship. Response was overwhelming with more than 442 individuals and teams form all across the United States and six countries submitting designs. The works represented in this exhibition are selected from the initial group and offer a range of design solutions--from the adventurous and visionary, on one hand, to traditional, on the other, and everything in between.
CAMPER CULTURE- LIVING UNIT VEHICLES
Graduate Program in Industrial Design
The University of the Arts, Philadelphia
Full-time travel is a rising phenomena. Camper Culture will investigate the personalities, culture, network and technological systems already in place and evolving in the new lifestyle of mobile living. Studies will be made to show how the technology of mobility—beginning in communications—is challenging the traditional home and expanding the definition of dwelling. Special emphasis will be placed upon plugging these mobile living units into emerging, transnational networks of infrastructure and support. The project will apply these discoveries and ideas to imagine a new mobile living network and ways to support life on the road.
