This installation is a Super Furniture. It is a building that is slightly too small, and a furniture that is kind of too big. Two of the past project that are a part of the Super-Furniture Series include the Briefcase House and White Elephant (Privately Soft). The previous iterations of this series has been widely covered, published and discussed, including BLDGBLOG, ArchDaily, archinect, Evolo,Architizer, etc. In addition, the transformation of the practice from comics to installation can be witnessed in a very early coverage by archinect in 2006.
This installation will house Jimenez Lai for a few weeks inside the Architecture Foundation in London where he will live inside the gallery as a part of the performance, on display for the world to see. We are going to Youtube it.
Heftner/Bueys House can also be thought of as an 1:1 comic book that the people can literally walk into and become a part of a story.
Lai has also spoken around the world, including this lecture on the genre of architectural installations in University of Michigan earlier in 2012.
