at the venice architecture biennale japanese sou fujimoto architects have
presented 'primitive future house' - a study for the pavilion for the works
by W.S. at chateau la coste in aix provence, france.
the building is composed of slabs layered at 350mm intervals. these slabs
can be used as chairs, desks, floors, shelves, stairs, lightings, openings,
garden and structure. for example, 350mm is the height of chairs, 700mm
(350 x 2) is the height of desks, 175mm (350/2) is the height of the steps
of stairs. successions of such different levels creates a variety of places.
as they seek out functions for these places by instinct, the inhabitants manage
to dwell in this topography called a 'house'.
