Celand in 2040

2040 is a future of flexibility, a world where people can live in the state of ‘permanent nomadism’, unlike other micronations Celand is a community that live a life of self-sufficiency and flexibility. The proposal question how can we envisage and redesign the nature of domestic space in a new era of nomadic living. In the future, the boundaries between work and domestic life are no longer clearly defined. And privacy doesn’t mean being alone in a space, it is a critique on the idea of co-inhabiting, collective dwelling and embodies ideals of socialisation. The existence of micro-society challenge domestication of society; the patriarchal logic of domestic space, and modern neighbourhood ecology. It is the year 2040, new laws on nomadism is passed on for people, where home can be anywhere, Celand is an micronation that claims Charleston estate as part of its territory. The nation stages and celebrate notions of privacy as the possibility of freedom. The proposal is a micronation, a micro-society, the design strategy is like designing elements of a small city, building the nation as a microcosm. The nation comprises distribution of inflatable structures, using lightweight, flexible, and adaptable plastics. The structures can be replaced, suggesting a process of continuous growth and replacement. Each unit serves a function and is intended as a small community. Each structure of the microsociety consists of particular domestic and social functions. Such as dining space, bedroom, bathroom, workspace, passport control, prison, hospital etc, locates in the land of what was originally the farmhouse. The structure is both inside and outside, protected and exposed, in Celand domestic space can also be a work space, kitchen can contain activities of preparing, cooking and eating in the same space. People can choose to inhabit alone or together. The project propose a new system for nation’s own growth and atomization. It embodies ideals of collective dwelling, modern living, where socialization could occur.
