The Futuro House is a unique, futurist-style dwelling designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen in the late 1960s. The house was envisioned as a portable, prefabricated structure that could be easily transported to remote or difficult-to-reach locations.The house has a distinctive flying saucer shape, with a circular floor plan and a domed roof. The outer shell of the house is made of reinforced fiberglass, with a high-gloss finish that gives it a futuristic look. It sits on four legs, which elevate it slightly off the ground and provide stability on uneven terrain.
The interior of the Futuro House is compact, with a central living area, a kitchenette, a bathroom, and a few small sleeping areas. The furniture is built-in and designed to maximize the use of space. Large circular windows on the sides of the house allow natural light to flood the interior, and provide panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
Less than 100 prototypes were produced, and they are mostly owned by preservationists and private collectors. The Futuro House with serial number 13 (Futuro 13) was showcased in the Hanover Fair of 1969, eventually ending up in the Berlin Spreepark, where it waits for its next use.
Thanks to the TOURIST project by Sera Akyazici, Futuro 13 will come back to life as part of a futuristic immersive experience on May 13th.
TOURIST is a global community platform offering meaningful concept design, creative production services and one of a kind experiences. TOURIST is about re-imagining a future where creative drivers not only support their own cultural engagement, but also the people participating in it. Over time many great minds had different ideas of what creative communities will look like in the future. Therefore TOURIST is having an immersive sound and art installation in one of the rare, remaining UFOs in Berlin: FUTURO13.
Imagine a galaxy with billions of stars, each holding their very own social microcosms of skills and interests. An interconnected system of shared values, creative exploration, and collaboration, which elevates the feeling of belonging to a widespread yet intertwined community.
The meditative sound of galaxy-reaching will be curated by sound designers, Spekki Webu and Harald Uunk , the audio-visual direction and spatialisation by founders of artistic platform, HLXR, Timur Novikov & Maximilian Fried The Martian, un-earthly set design is mastered by Tatiana Makrinova and Elis Ollero and the Zenomorph chair designed by the art collective ‘Sucuk and Bratwurst’ will be the centerpiece of the UFO.
Each slot for FUTURO13 experience is 10pax. only & during waiting times, Berlin-based experimental sound studio, MONOM, will be co-hosting the evening with immersive sound offerings at their venue, co-curated by William Russel & Alessandra Denegri.
