USER’S MANUAL: THE GRAND DOMESTIC REVOLUTION
User’s Manual: The Grand Domestic Revolution is a year-long project developed as Casco’s contribution to Utrecht Manifest – Biennial for Social Design. The project deals with the evolutionary and collaborative process of “living” research in the contemporary domestic and private sphere – particularly in relation to the spatial imagining (or the built environment). It aims at re-articulating while exercising the notions of the social, the public and, eventually, the commons. For this purpose, an apartment in the Casco’s neighborhood (Bemuurde Weerd oz 18 b, Utrecht) is rented to be both a symbolic and functional base of the project. The actual use and transformation of space and multiple forms of activities in and out of the apartment intertwine with cross-disciplinary research and imaginative practices.
