HABITAT, 2006-08 | XAVIER DELORY

scopio aboveground: territory

Our countryside (in Belgium as well as in a many other western countries) is mono-polized by one specific type of houses called ‘clé sur porte’ (turnkey) (def: Urban prefab cluster of similar formsimplanted in the landscape without any effort of integration).
The cycle ‘Habitat’ throws a look at this type of ‘architecture’. The concept of protection and stereotyped block is pushed to its extremes (similar to our withdrawal into on ourselves and our formated lifes)
