Fragments
of lifeThe proper home is warm, friendly and
personalized, designed for living, not cold, distant, hostile and impersonal.
The proper home is a conventional home,
defined by a reactionary, deeply rooted in tradition conception of living.
Commonly accepted is not necessarily
best fit.
The idea that every function of life has
its proper and fixed position in the hierarchical structure of the house dates
back to a previous social structure (i.e. the proper drawing/living room,
mirror to the society, kept solely for formal visits).
Individuality requires an icon to
identify.
The spirit of times requires
visualization / corporeity.
Most of all, versatile / uncertain
society & day to day life requires an adaptable shell.
The house acts as an internal landscape
capable of accommodate different programmatic functions at any given moment.
Unique programmatic function is replaced by a multitude of potential scenarios.
Space as a variable matrix of events.

The conventional house is full of
fragments of memories of our past life, fragments of reminiscence of a past
society that never existed. Why live in reminisce of past rural life or
monarchy, revamped to fit contemporary needs (unless you are a fanatic
royalist). What is there to identify with and envy. It should be structured of
fragments of life. Random events of an arbitrary life.

What better way to evaluate a house than
a child with minimal pre-structured behavioral patterns. The best playground is
the best home.
