System hacking

System Hacking was an assignment for Avans Communication Multimedia Design. Our group of five was tasked with finding a system to change and come up with a new, perhaps unconventional idea. We chose to focus on the housing market since we were all at an age where finding a suitable house or apartment was challenging in today's market.

Our crazy idea was to completely revolutionize the concept of traditional houses. In a world where work has become increasingly important, we questioned the necessity of a conventional home and instead focused on the core needs of individuals: privacy, access to fresh air, and a place to charge electronic devices. We brainstormed ways to visualize these human needs while also making it an enjoyable experience.

Our concept involved replacing houses with boxes. These boxes would serve as personal spaces, worn on the head, providing individuals with their essential requirements. People would go about their daily lives, walking the streets, working, and dining out, all while wearing these boxes. Some may perceive this idea as bizarre, but we challenged the notion of what constitutes a home and explored alternative ways of meeting our fundamental needs.

In our adapted world, this unconventional living arrangement would redefine how people interacted with their environment. It encouraged us to question the traditional concept of housing and sparked conversations about the evolving needs of individuals in a fast-paced society. ​
