Abstract
Dwelling is one of architecture's oldest questions. We know it well without realizing it. While there are new technical challenges, dwelling continues to remain a constant need over time. Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen, in her book Achtung Architektur!!, teaches a key lesson that proceeds from the following: Transformation of the image into a functioning and tactile thing emphasizes the Architectural...since works of architecture are not supposed to move. We are a conservative nation, and even more so as we reflect our values onto the facades of our houses. Mobility and Architecture with a capital A have rarely gone together in history. One desires stability in one's house. HOUSE I lite proposes to design a product you can order, build, and then rebuild, as you like: a variety of living choices that arise from a small array of generic parts. Panels plug into matrices. Systems weave smartly into a compact and evolving footprint. There are never two HOUSE I lite dwellings exactly alike. And if they are ever the same, they too will change.
