Singletown

These days, its seems like marriage is slowly becoming a choice rather than an expectation. The world has now becoming more accepting of the 45-year old successful unmarried female lawyer and the 50-year old bachelor.

More than accepting, they've even become accommodating. At Venice Architecture Biennale in 2008 the Dutch design studio Droog Design & KesselsKramer showcased an exhibition called S1ngletown.

"S1NGLETOWN focuses on the world of contemporary singles. Its relevance is broad, as all of us are likely to belong to this group at some stage in our lives — and likely more than once. In fact, some sources predict that a third of people in developed countries will be living alone by 2026.
S1NGLETOWN is an exhibition that’s also a town, an abstract interpretation of a new kind of urban space. Visitors will be able to walk its streets and interact with its products and citizens, and view their homes."
