In Hannes Meyer's Pockets is a collaboration between James Hamilton, Andrea Pinochet, Espen Vatn, Richard Øiestad and Børre Mølstad.
The project has been exhibited at the 2014 Venice Biennale for Architecture and at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design and was awarded an honorable mention in the Princeton Pamphlet Architecture competition in 2015
Though often overlooked or dismissed, Hannes Meyer (1889 - 1954) was a radical and egalitarian architect that thought of architects as productive individuals who’s purpose is to bridge industrial modes of production and art for the advancement of a collective life through actions of organization. This project builds on a program for the organization of habitation outlined by Hannes Meyer. The program was published in his 1928 manifesto “Bauen”. The manifesto lists 12 motivations for making and organizing architecture:
sex life
sleeping habits
pets
gardening
personal hygiene
weather protection
hygiene in the home
car maintenance
cooking
heating
exposure to the sun
