Entangled Eidicity

Eidicity

A constant in our practice is ‘Verschränkte Plastik’. In English this can be translated as ‘Entangled Eidicity’. This is the principle we followed when designing the Chambord-stairs in Tridom Puzzle to entangle three apartments. Apartment means that we live apart from each other. However, together, in a same system. Through this spatial entanglement, a social relationship is translated in a tectonic form. The entanglement means a ‘sharing’ of infrastructures however keeping the division, the threshold between spatial entities – apartments. The geometry (double helix) allows the necessary separation of spaces with different ownerships.

This installation was exhibited in the gallery Lothringer 13 and it was WUDA*s contribution to the exhibition of the Förderpreis. It represented a scale model of the flats of TRIDOM, displaying the spatial complexity of the architecture that was actually built. The installation was part of an immersive programme that included round-tables, a video with interviews to multiple stakeholders and a newspaper.
