Haunted Houses. The spirit of domestic architecture
MAXXI Piazza, YAP Space – admittance free
The domestic environment is one of the objects of architectural research par excellence. The home has changed under the influence of the new media while remaining an object of comfort, surprise and seduction for those who inhabit it. Ten videos show how architects use video today to describe behaviour, to define paths that stimulate the imagination, to consecrate the space they themselves design to communication and history.

Casa Toluca
by FR-EE, 5’46”, Mexico 2012

Golden Age – Somewhere
by Paul Nicholls (Factory Fifteen), 5’29”, United Kingdom 2011
On the basis of the input collected during a university course organized by Nic Clear around the reading of texts by James Ballard, Paul Nicholls, Jonathan Gales and Kibwe Tavares began to produce dual purpose urban and architectural scenarios in which the fascination of a future illuminated by progress is flanked by the depiction of more uncertain and ephemeral implications.
Rolling House for the Rolling Society
by Andrés Jaque / Office for Political Innovation, 6’06’’, Spain 2009
