Abstract
Hardware Stories is a catalogue of normally eccentric solutions, tools, and routines to "DIY" modify or manufacture new building components, that encourage beneficial more-than-humans complementarities at both micro and macro scale.
The floor, with its patchwork of materials, processes, practices, and ritualities, attempts to explore the potential of qualities inspired and required by a broad notion of cohabitation.
Those components, which are both mundane and exceptional, relate to a quirky set of DIY tools to make and maintain them and suggest the establishment of curious connections, supported by a condition of familiar estrangement.
