A damp cloth glides over a shiny plastic surface at a Japanese capsule hotel in central Tokyo. Nothing is personal, nothing is unique, nothing is superfluous. Is this the home of the future? Is it even a home? And how can architecture strengthen social relationships in a world where more and more people choose to live alone? This event focuses on two significant future visions: Cities without loneliness and urban spaces that better support the needs of an ageing population.
Meet directors Daniel Schwartz and Giovanna Borasi as we raise the discussion about future living arrangements, the relationship between private and public spaces in future megacities, and how we can address the challenge of more elderly people and senior housing in the future with the films When We Live Alone and When We Grow Older.
