BUT UNSEEN, BEHIND A FACADE, WELCOMING
A critical analysis of the notion of house and the emotions, experiences, and construction of a home. In helping these investigations, visual representations of the poem “A House by the Side of the Road”, written by Sam Walter Foss, were created. These creations led to the idea of thinking about moments in time while traveling along a path. In this moment a neighbor can experience an acceptance into the comfort zone that defines a home.

The design for the Haiku House was an exploration of Two working systems: Folded Elements responding to site factors & Juxtaposed Private and Public spaces. The plan organization plays on the notion of house and the varying scales of privacy from the oommunity to family level. The house was then used in Clemson University’s Solar Decathlon research proposal.
