House of the Future

1999

This masterplanning exercise was undertaken as the result of a public art commission from the city of hamburg and was displayed in an art gallery there in early 1999.  we called the project a “portrait” with the understanding that portraiture is always an idealized representation of its subject.  in this case, we hoped that it was clear that our project grew from our affection for the exciting form of the city, especially for its system of waterways and its thrilling juxtaposition of maritime activities with more traditional urban form.
