Ion Sørvin , the founder of experimental Danish practice N55, describes two projects devised to challenge and critique the current economic, social and political conventions: one for open‐source manuals to create everyday items, such as modular bed systems, a hygiene system and a micro‐home, that highlight how commercial products define and circumscribe everyday social interactions; and another for a collective masterplan that challenges the power base of private land ownership.
