The common sense upon which civilisations are based is essentially grounded in the primeval experience that spatial environments can be purposively separated inito respective spatial insides and outsides: in the cognitive appropriation of space that initiates both the proccess of the human conditioning of space and the ideational realisation of the spatial condition of human beings. Evidently, they converge on the notion of houses and housings.
The second volume in a four-part series on ALICE, House 1 Catalogue focuses on a prototype, House 1, developed and constructed throughout the academic year. This mobile structure incorporates ALICE’s core values of communication and collaboration in building processes, and it will travel as part of an exhibition to several major cities, where it will be continually modified and reconfigured. With again hundreds illustrations, this book continues the experimental narrative Dieter Dietz, Matthias Michel, and Daniel Zamarbide began in The Invention of Space, which will be further developed in the forthcoming third and fourth volumes in the series.
