RESHAPING DOMESTICITY.
How do we dwell differently in observance of temperature fluctuations?
A what-if scenario ensues, composing an interior ecosystem in which we inhabit a spatial atmosphere, occupying various zones and heights. Our perception of home shifts, becoming a fluid vertical space, mediating seasonal equilibrium between exterior conditions and interior comforts. This reconceived building becomes a living, breathing, adapting organism as the “body” of domestic life. The case study recomposes interiority, lessens the effect of climatic extremities, and reevaluates the future of living.
