experiential section, author

do·mes·tic·i·ty
1. redefining the traditional notion of family from man, wife and child to mother, daughter and granddaughter

in·hab·it
1. a provocative experience

3. an intertwining trajectory relating to a 24 hour cycle of live, work and play
4. the final result is unpredictable and leads to a unique journey

house
1. is the domain of its inhabitants: the home is the territory in which their, even more than the architect’s, desires and fantasies are centered
2. a subversion of traditional occupation of private space which has always been buried and hidden from public view, but is now exposed
3. “there are no rooms, just situations”
4. a vehicle for social experimentation; an energetic score

wall
1. to reveal and define; and to enclose and restrict
2. a negotiating medium between me and my neighbour
3. defined by the overlapping spaces and planes which extend to main materials of brick and concrete

sketchbook, author

plan
