How much space does a human need?
This seemingly simple question runs through architecture, philosophy, and society alike. In a world shaped by dense cities, housing shortages, and individualised lifestyles, it’s more urgent than ever. While reduction is marketed as a lifestyle in neoliberal tiny-house concepts, the fundamental question of what is truly necessary often remains unanswered and is obscured by aesthetics.
Time and again, people grapple with how little space an individual must, may, or can occupy, and how much privacy is necessary in the changing context of the times. Depending on the initial situation, the motivation for small or reduced structures changes.
Selfanalysis
I analysed my daily space usage by measuring and categorising all my belongings based on ownership and if used privately or collectively. Only personally owned items I want to use privately should be included in a minimal private space; all other needs can be shared. I used my research to create a 1:1 scale model of 3.24m² for a self-experiment. The experiment resulted in an adjuste surface area of 3.4m². On this base I designed a parasitic architectural structure that can be attached to any host building capable of fulfilling collectively usable living functions. The Kunsthalle in Düsseldorf is a suitable candidate for this.

Zwei Sofas auf zehn Rollen
Die Hochschule ist ein Haus voller Regeln, Erlaubnissen und Verboten. Jeglicher Eingriff zählt als solcher, wenn er fest steht und benötigt eine Erlaubnis oder Duldung. Das Sofa als Intervention hat keine Bremsen und kann dadurch kein Gegenstand sein, der fester Bestandteil ist. Es darf nicht stehen bleiben. Mit der Zeit kann das Sofa zum festen Bestandteil werden, unabhängig, wo es steht oder gebraucht wird. Es wird Bestandteil der Kultur des Gebäudes, nicht der Möblierung. Im letzten Schritt reguliert sich das Gebäude immer selbst, durch seine Bewohnenden oder Nutzenden.

Mountains are often defined by their height and ascent length. Colors, shapes, and sounds are rarely mentioned as characteristics of a mountain.
Recording Alps aims to provide mountains with an audiovisual identity.
For the first edition of Rec Alps, I hiked the Viehkogel and portrayed the German-Austrian border mountain.
