Architecture of the Vernacular Common

Stack, Pile, and Gravity Stacking is one of the most fundamental and instinctual abilities human have in constructing space. It is a multidimensional process of making and contemplative ritual that simply connects our body, mind to the material world.

Throughout my trip in rural China, I saw piles and piles of materials that were stacked, bundled, packed and stored in various methods of organization by the local peasants. It was a genuine and fundamental human connection to the materials around them which gradually disappears in the developed world.
