Recently, a home prototype called “breathe” that aims to optimize urban life in terms of environmental impact was shown at Salonedel Mobile in Milan. Iand does a feasibility analysis on the prototype… The question is, “What happens when we consider homes not merely as a place in which to live, but as an active element of our environment?” Mini living, a lab platform that is working on urban living solutions, has collaborated with architects so-il, who are based in New York, to conceive of a space that is constrained while being mindful of its surrounding environment. This is done in order to address this practical social and urban obstacle. breathe provides answers to the issues of space and environment that are faced by normal life. These challenges are founded on the ideas of “creative use of space” and “minimum footprint” that are outlined in mini. The result is an active lifestyle. ilias papageorgiou, the principal of so-il, argues that “breathe puts its citizens into intimate touch with their surroundings.” “The project urges visitors to address our inclination to take resources for granted by making life an active experience,” the installation says. The modular steel frame structure is meant to seat three people in up to six functional rooms, and it can be disassembled and rebuilt anywhere. It was erected on a 50 square meter urban plot that was not being utilized, and it was located in an alleyway. The fundamental living sections beginning with the kitchen on the bottom level (which caters to important social interaction), sleeping and washing areas are piled, and a roof garden serves as the environment’s capstone. An intelligent use of fundamental resources such as air, water, and light is what distinguishes the vertically built transparent urban microclimate from ordinary urban environments. A flexible, lightweight, permeable pvc mesh filter is used to construct the building envelope. This filter neutralizes the air from the outside and can be replaced to accommodate any temperature and environment. Air quality is greatly improved by the presence of plants in a roof garden. In terms of illumination, the translucent nature of the building shell allows an abundance of natural sunshine to permeate the area inside the structure. Regarding the water, the roof is designed to collect rainwater, which is then used to supply the kitchen and wash rooms located below. Breathe is the third installment in the series and provides a comprehensive approach to sustainability. It follows small living’s investigation of shared collaboration spaces, which was accomplished with the installation of do disturb and forest. Nevertheless, the question of how the translucent envelope that clearly shows silhouettes despite spatial divisions is going to afford the much-needed privacy remains a question mark. This is because even if the designers have considered the issue, which they undoubtedly must have done, they have refrained from sharing it.
