Sqm: The Quantified Home

The way we live is rapidly changing under pressure from multiple forces--financial, environmental, technological, geopolitical. What we used to call home may not even exist anymore, having transmuted into a financial commodity of which the square meter is the basic unit. Yet, domesticity and the domestic space ceased long ago to be present in the architectural agenda. SQM: The Quantified Home, produced for the 2014 Biennale Interieur in Kortrijk, Belgium, charts the scale of this change using data, fiction, and a critical selection of homes and their interiors--from Osama bin Laden's compound to apartment living in the age of Airbnb. The book comes with one of 22 different variant covers.
