Most houses are reliant on grid-scale infrastructure for basic needs such as water, energy, and food. Homes are viewed as structures of consumption. Low self-sufficiency and low production.
A quick thought exploration about the critical inputs/outputs of homes current-day, and how they may look different in the housing of the future.
We critically rethink grid over-reliance and determine which resources make sense to be distributed. Through distributed resource collection and dissemination, infrastructure around our basic needs are designed to be redundantly robust to failure.
What does the modular home of 2050 look like? what are the inputs and outputs? which resources or needs are generated self-sufficiently, and which ones are brought in from outside?
for the purposes of this exercise, we will define the boundaries of the home as the system limits. below is a list of commonly consumed inputs.
