Foundations for Home-Based Work:
Cases | Propositions
This exhibition documents the variety of paid work conducted in the Singaporean home – from an electrical repair service operating out of a study table, to a burgeoning urban farm on an adjacent green corridor. The drawings are complemented by a series of speculative models that reimagine a 4-room public housing (HDB) flat as the site for four different types of home-based workers: a homebaker, a teleworker, a craftsperson, and an aesthetician. The models offer new typologies for the public housing flat that might adequately accommodate paid labour activities. Accompanying these home-based work case studies and design propositions are a selection of student projects from Domestic Capital, an Options M. Arch 1 design studio, under A/P Dr Lilian Chee.
