The ever-playful Why Factory proposes design collaboration with residents as a new kind of game
With (W)EGO: Tailor-Made Housing, the Why Factory investigates participatory processes in housing design—processes that establish the grounds for negotiation between the desires of residents, designers and architects. To achieve this, Wegocity has conceptualized a kind of “gaming” process that adapts the requirements of each resident and transforms them into spatial needs. As a result of this “game,” unforeseen housing typologies emerge through a truly human-driven residential building.
(W)EGO: Tailor-Made Housing is part of the Why Factory’s Future Cities series, following Visionary Cities, Green Dream, Vertical Village, Hong Kong Fantasies, City Shocks, We Want World Wonders and Absolute Leisure.
