House as Thesis

Examining the present state of the world and the role we as humans have assumed, the House as Thesis acknowledges the bare necessities of what defines a living quarters for a family, but moves beyond this role to conceptualize a new, dynamic structure in which to not only encapsulate and shelter life, but enrich it.


[Bio-core of the housing construct]

A current issue with the majority of single-family homes erected throughout North America, as well as much of the world, has to do with its relationship to the surrounding environment. Instead of utilizing natural energy sources (progressive blue measures) -- wind, hydrological, geo-thermal, or solar -- these homes sit as exposed monolithic entities, parasitically feeding on the planet and fouling the world around them. House as Thesis explores relations of the natural and the synthetic world. It raises questions on the overbearing demand of mechanical systems and seeks to provide alternative solutions, if not entirely, at least in assistance to those we have grown accustomed.
