TheCityAsAHouse is a visually stunning art book that challenges the concept of the private
home. In this experiment a 30-year-old European lives in Tokyo without a private home relying
only on a smartphone. Traditional private spaces such as bedrooms kitchens and bathrooms are
abolished and public spaces become the norm for daily needs. The book explores the
implications of the shift of privacy to non-domestic spaces and asks whether a new form of
nomadic living is emerging. It also explores the potential for new artistic and architectural
possibilities and infrastructure for society. The book includes various types of data collected
during the experiment and offers a digital journey through the game experiences to discover new
perspectives. TheCityAsAHouse invites readers to reflect on the future of society and living
without traditional homes and encourages them to embrace the possibilities that lie ahead.
