Description : Project Abstract SECURBIA - “homeland“ revisited The phenomenon of one family housing is spreading more and more throughout Europe and the whole western world in 监控器材shape of big or small areas serving only one single purpose: living. This ”homeland” appears on city edges or nearby villages in the countryside. The will for an own home with an own piece of land is promoted by society as a goal for individual living. Therefor “homeland” is well financially supported by the state. SECURBIA is a virtual “homeland” using the UnrealEditor as a scenario and at the s监控器材ame time information tool on the phenomenon “homeland”. The scenario of SECURBIA shows how the will for individual living is standardised in specifi监控器材c building elements that can be chosen from a catalog. By mutating the house elements into offensive fortification devices the houses of SECURBIA reveal that the demand for a peaceful dwelling is accompaigned by a stron监控器材g will for order, security, rule, privat property and quietness caused by fear for crime, uncertainty, egoistic thinking showing how people start selfprisoning and closing out the world around by forting up their homes. So 监控器材what if the calm, peaceful picture of “homeland” really collapses one day, homes turn into bunker-like protection fortresses? And will that be enough security? Visit SECURBIA.监控器材
