Living Room House, Gelnhausen, Germany This exhibiton demonstrated the importance of good external design of housing in creating a sense of community and creating place where people want to live. Architects whose work was represented include: AHMM, BKK-3, Brendeland Kristoffersen, FAT, Maccreanor Lavington, MVRDV, S333 and Wilkinson Eyre.
There were some really innovative ideas, such as the Living Room House pictured above, with rooms that slide out of the building like draws, creating an outdoor-indoor space! This was a tiny exhibition, really hidden away but well worth having a look at. It really highlighted the overlapping roles between architects and landscape architects. There were some beautiful models and a really interesting video of people talking about the old London slum areas.
