| As a place where we devote a great measure of our lives, the house is overlooked, for the intrinsic need of more housing and hurriedness of construction, at both the urban and suburban scales. The house is overlooked for what it really is, how it generates discourse, lives, and is recalled in memories, on a daily basis, and through our entire lives. Through the discovery of the phenomenological traits of the house, a new definition of the house arises, and demands a new approach towards the quality, and the arrangement of our lives within it. Shifting into the urban context, this new approach can be integrated to create density within the city, while creating discourse and life within the house. These discourses can emerge through the occurrences of space-metaphors as provoked through architectural expressions of form, light, arrangement, and materiality. |
