URHÜTTE /Haus 112
(Building Specifications since 2015)
URHÜTTE /Haus 112 is a series of plans for housing units. First shown in 2015, the work examines western living conditions and the imagination of habitat. Each architectural scheme presents an Ürhütte with one specific attribute. Each Ürhütte consists of a ceiling and fireplace, inspired by the original concept of the Ürhütte by Marc-Antoine Laugier (1713–1769), who introduced the rustic cabin, sometimes called The Vitruvian Hut. The addition of one extra element breaks the original rules, transforming the structure.
The work serves as a critical reflection on contemporary notions of home and the structures we inhabit. The project has evolved into a series of 21 building specifications to date.
Several talks and lectures have been held to engage with the Haus 112 project, discussing the broader implications of these designs, offering a critical perspective on architectural practice and society.
The publication homecoming1,2,3 etc., published by Archive Books, features a conversation between Norbert Palz and the artist, discussing the individual blueprints and architectural practice behind URHÜTTE /Haus 112.
URHÜTTE /Haus 112 invites reflection on the relationship between architecture and the human experience, offering a critique of the expectations tied to the concept of home and the ways in which space is both designed and lived in.
