Fabulous Future Factory FFF
Studio theme
Fabulous Future Factory immerses itself in ideas of a joyful sustainable future for us all - together. It is time to take the future back from individual self-improvement, dystopia, austerity and misery. Studio FFF is hungry for information on technology, politics and creating desire through good design. Architect is one of few professions with the ability to envision, visualize and propose radical change. Let's use that power to try to improve the world. We need to look critically at what futures are presented by architects through their projects. There is power in projection which is something to take advantage of. Can we change how others (and ourselves) see and think about today and tomorrow? Can a sustainable world, from a small reuse project to a high tech mega project or redistribution of resources be that which makes people drool with desire? We shall find out! In spring we travel to Rome.
Studio methodology
Taking on the mission of taking back the future, we will need architects with agency who are curious, brave, humble, confident, independent and not the least great designers...how can we assist you in this? Challenge accepted! You will solve urgent societal questions, need to try out a multitude of architectural tools and processes, try both being the best and the worst student in the class, work very hands-on in a direct way, and more than before independently locate material, project ideas and people to talk to. All this and more. In helping you become proactive agents, we have to look at ourselves not as teachers but perhaps more as sports coaches. If you are up for daring, being curious and open minded while working hard on our fabulous future we would love to create it with you.
