Military

 

Ok so here's the deal..... for my studio class we are now each designing an exhibit space that discusses, informs within a particular global matter.... the words are as broad as information and as controversial as military. Here are the footprints of the initial design.

Map of the main idea of the space.

The Experience

House 23.2, Canada

White Rock, a coastal city 45km south of Vancouver, is probably the last place you would expect to find a house that’s as starkly futuristic as the 23.2 House, but look closer and it soon becomes clear that there is a distinct context and reverence for the countryside. This amazing home was inspired to be an old style loft. However the project immediately turned into a futuristic revolution provoking and highlighting the amazing details that this side of Canada has to offer. The ceiling is a clear focal architectural feature demonstrating a new and innovative style that day lighting can be used. The house can be completely opened on every side and the furniture has been carefully added by the home owner. All together this design gets an A in my book due to its surprising and futuristic features.
