Alles Wird Gut have designed...
The German architectural team 'Alles Wird Gut' (All Is Well) are at the cutting edge of interior design. They try, through their work, to show how interiors have become stagnant over the past 100 years. We constantly stay with the same idea of interiors being four walls, a ceiling, and a floor. They want new ideas to shape design for the 21st century.

One of their ides, the 'TurnOn', uses rotating discs to create a long cylindrical room. The idea is that the user rotates each segment in order to fulfil a different function. So they may rotate the kitchen segment to access the cooker, and then rotate it again so as to access an arrangement of chairs and tables. A proposed 'Wet' segment would combine the bathroom functions, ie a shower, bath, toilet and sink. This does raise aesthetic concerns, would a person in the room want to have a toilet hanging above their head.

I would like to use the idea of multifunctional, unobtrusive furniture. I am also interested in the extent of CAD pre visualization used by the team. Of the images I have taken from their website, only the three negatives in the top right are actual photographs, the other two images being digitally rendered. I will use CAD pre viz in my own project, as I can use it both to demonstrate how my interior and product will look and to plan actual construction.
