“Living on Display” is a “store-and stor-age” prototype that incorporates housing units and a refrigerated warehouse, which also houses retail and wholesale programs. Its ambition is to learn from, reinvent and thus preserve the industrial. It also strives to raise awareness about refrigeration and its related energy consumption.
By having the kitchens of housing units and the warehouse share a refrigerated space, this prototype radically exposes the private side of people`s daily lives to the public. The retail and wholesale program adopts the `cutting out the middleman` business model which shortens the food supply chain. The installation of a conveyor belt not only minimizes waste by serving in small portions but also examines the notion of movement, display and spectacle. Translucent refrigeration curtains subdivide the refrigerated space into microclimate zones.
`Living on Display` challenges the way people live, eat, store and shop.
