Fueled by sugar, caffeine, bag lunches, and the knowledge that our current homes are technological dinosaurs, we will engage in some fast-paced, intensive brainstorming about the future of the home. Room by room, we will systematically discuss how we can improve the home using foreseeable technologies and, as a team, we will design a few components using digital or physical mockups. Some sessions will begin with mini-lectures on ideas being addressed by the House_n: MIT Home of the Future research project. Ideally, participants will have different backgrounds and form a multi-disciplinary team: architecture, engineering, computer science, and business. Our case scenario will be for an ultra-compact environment.
