A HOUSE FOR HOMO SAPIENS
Registration Deadline: Dec 31, 2023; Submission Deadline: Dec 31, 2023 A HOUSE FOR HOMO SAPIENS Sapiens, indeed… wise, indeed… discerning, indeed. NONSENSE. Human beings never learn. The beast within is real and from time to time it erupts. At this very moment two deadly wars. At this very moment, as if one was not enough. To say that it is sad it is to say very little. Who cares ? We keep killing each other, under a dark, dark sky. And the sky is dark because of us. The smoke of “progress” and “enlightenment.” So how would we design A House for Homo Sapiens ?

What are our values, what do we value in life ? Property. TO HAVE. Forget Doing and Being. The important thing is TO HAVE. The more, the better. Things, land, the sky itself. EVERYTHING.

A HOUSE FOR HOMO SAPIENS
Sapiens, indeed… wise, indeed… discerning, indeed.
NONSENSE.
Human beings never learn.
The beast within is real and from time to time it erupts.
At this very moment two deadly wars.
At this very moment, as if one was not enough.
To say that it is sad it is to say very little.
Who cares ?
We keep killing each other, under a dark, dark sky.
And the sky is dark because of us.
The smoke of “progress” and “enlightenment.”
So how would we design A House for Homo Sapiens ?
How would this house properly represent the infinite wisdom of the humans ?
Would it have installed, at each window, automatic rifles ?
Would it be covered in gold ?
How would it be ?
What are our values, what do we value in life ?
Property. TO HAVE. Forget Doing and Being.
The important thing is TO HAVE.
The more, the better.
Things, land, the sky itself.
EVERYTHING.
And if we don’t, we start to kill, as wisdom requires us to do.
TO KILL.
Without blinking.
Maybe even laughingly.
Imagine one killing while laughing.
What could be more horrid ?
Yes, it is possible it happens.
The enlightened “human being,” HOMO SAPIENS.
The shepherd of existence.
The one and only.
Homo Sapiens.
Please design the most appropriate house for this culmination of evolution.
Please send us ANY work, ANY size and ANY format that responds to the theme. Please send it digitally to info@icarch.us by December 31st. If you have any questions please contact us. We will publish all the works received.
