YALE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE
HMWRK EXHIBITION OPEN CALL
“HMWRK is an ongoing research and propositional non-profit project, started in the spring of 2020 by graduate students at the Yale School of Architecture, Rachael Tsai, Jack Rusk, Diana Smiljkovic, and Gustav Kjær Vad Nielsen.
The project examines the convergence of the home and the office through multiple approaches and media in the attempt to further the understanding of the social, cultural, economic and political motifs, consequences and opportunities that such a conjunction carries.
Working from home became a reality for most when COVID-19 spread globally in the early spring of 2020. In light of this, the home office is explored as an emerging spatial type, as a largely undesigned product of the urgency imposed by the pandemic but also as an aspiration with historical and commercial precedent.
Intended as a collective meditation on what it means to work from home, participants were asked to draw a plan drawing of their own home office. Certain selected drawings were paired with in depth conversations about the home office space in order to tease out specific stories and experiences in medias res, while also providing an indexical, non-comprehensive survey on the home office of the present.
HMWRK will be exhibited in the Yale North Gallery in Spring 2021 and subsequently publicized as a physical publication and online repository that will include the project research.”
