The private house has played a unique position throughout the history of architecture. Despite it’s small size with respect to other architectural programs, the house figures large in the cultural
imagination.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has been and continues to be the man-made environment’s fundamental building block. The radical
transformation of the family since World War II has resulted in new domestic requirements that differ from those of the conventional nuclear family. Today people who live alone or with one other person are the general public in many parts of the industrialized world. Situations like these have resulted in new thinking about domestic space as needs for acoustic and visual privacy differ.
As definitions of public and private both shift and overlap, architects continued to be called upon to address the need for a flexible, convertible living space that can be reconfigured to serve different functions..!!!!!
Today, a new relationship between the public and the private has emerged - - one in which the private is
engaged with the public through media and technology.
The private house has been the laboratory for architectural invention throughout the twentieth century.
While it might be said that the house is just now beginning to catch up to the fundamental social and
cultural changes of recent years, the private house can be seen as a harbinger of things to come.

This project began and has developed into a series of studies of emerging cultures and urban
platforms of thinking. The idea was to elevate and enhance the experience of “THE WALK” for the everyday common man pedestrian. The most beautiful aspect of this particular site was that is was bang-in-between two important elements of an urban culture – THE MARKET & THE SQUARE.
Here the Market is denoted by the Lijnbaan shopping street and the Square represented by
the Schouwberg plein and theater complex.
The focus was to develop the obtruse missing link between these two elements by developing
a component that would encompass the core ingredients of these two elements and hence create a transition space between the Market and the Square and fuse all of them into a comprehensive unit further strengthening their roles independently and their inherent connections.
Schouwberg is an immense and thorough passageway and the square is at times fully realized as a spacious playground. The Lijnbaan extends it's arms very adventurously into the housing activities though it mostly fails to generate the sense of excitement of the Walk.
The physical site in question holds a housing block, but the physical wallness crush the meaning of the transition.
AND HENCE THE ADVENTURE OF THE WALK IS LOST.
The design was generated as a series pf elevated beams that float ephemerally above the street level. The ring of housing, though, is suggestive of enclosing the garden within and generates a feeling of ownership for the housing society but the floating quality of the housing beams renders the landscape public.
This “sort-of” enclosed transition space captures within it physical and psychological aspects of both the Market and the Square and thus fulfills the transitionary quality perfectly.
THE ADVENTURE IS FOUND AGAIN.
