Universal Home: Ideas for a Living Space for All Stages of LifeAfter one year of intense research work at Zollverein they have been established: The results of the "Universal Home" scholarship competition at Zollverein.
In October 2006, ten young designers and architects from all over the world took up their annual scholarship at Zollverein to do research in cooperation with eleven companies on the future oriented issue "Universal Home".
Motivated by their own situation, the scholarship holders explored a flexible and at the same time comfortable living scenario of the future.
Professor Dr. Peter Zec, Icsid president and head of the project, sums up the results: "Flexibility is the answer to the quest for the Universal Home".
Two groups have developed concepts on living space called "Make Yourself at Home" and "S.M.A.R.T.er Home".
The research work of the other scholarship holders deals with the reflection of essential values and original forms, which were the basis for a possible living conception of the future.
In the project "Universal Home" the most different cultures, mentalities and professional backgrounds came together.
They offered a broad spectre of experience allowing a constructive discussion.
Based on this special situation, the research work of the scholarship holders did not so much concentrate on the question whether there might be a "Universal Home" at all.
