CHAPTER III
HOUSE - MOVEMENT III
The fragment will lead to a house; from the fragment to a specific location.
It is about living. About construction, about making, about the community.
The context once again is Belgium. A neighborhood with social housing, once designed as a garden city. How to deal in an existing context and how to densify the fabric. One double compact house. Analyzing the existing fabric and act by adding one double house. Densifying and at the same time adding quality for the community. One double house for one chair, two students.
A sketchbook as a daily, ongoing research. A way of thinking by drawing.
