ABSTRACT
The studio for architecture and product design led by Prof. Richard Horden was approached in 2001 to look at the increasing problem that students have in finding affordable housing in Munich. A teaching programme began in collaboration with the Tokyo Institute of Technology, where students investigated the possibility of providing high-quality small-scale housing in a 2.55-metre cube. The intention was to provide housing for students that would form an enclosure for the four basic living functions – eating, sleeping, working and hygiene.
