Resilient
Background
Resilient, a co-living space, is inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi, where broken objects are repaired with gold lacquer to enhance their beauty . The concept is applied to a co-living space designed for a single-parent family, which is also like a broken bowl. This design concept symbolizes resilience and strength in adversity. The design aims to create a nurturing and supportive environment for the family, highlighting the beauty in imperfections and the strength found in overcoming challenges. Through thoughtful use of space planning, materials, and cultural references, Resilient offers a space that celebrates both the struggles and triumphs of its inhabitants, promoting a sense of unity, growth, and resilience within the home.
CONCEPT
The project aims to create a co-living space specifically designed for single-mother families. The purpose is to provide a supportive environment where these families can find relief from the pressures of life. The project is commissioned by the organization 'Light Be', known for their work with disadvantaged groups. Design Concept Inspired by kintsugi, a single-parent family is like a broken bowl. Kintsugi is a repairing technique in Japan, which also makes the broken bowl unique. I hope that single-parent families can also make up for the defects in the family when living Resilient co-living space. Also, let the light shine through the cracks. In recent years, more and more single-mother families need assistance. They all face a range of challenges. They have the pressure to take care of their children alone, find a job that can support the family, and their children may not have a stable and fulfilling childhood.
