Designs for the Homes of the Future


According to the brief, by 2050 we’ll have just 35.2 square-meters per person to occupy (around 380 square-feet). The designs range from a waterless closet, which “washes” your clothes as they hang inside flat sections that you can browse like the posters in the local mall’s head-shop, to the virtual kitchen (picture right) which gives the lucky inhabitant a helmet to wear that projects him into a computer-generated kitchen. As he pretends to prepare food, his movements are transmitted to a robot chef in a real kitchen elsewhere in the building.
