dc.description.abstractArchitecture is not a machine. It is part of the body; it contains life. This project is to invent a new system of architecture which grants people the freedom of space, structure, and material. Inspired by the Statue of Liberty in New York, the system liberates the body of architecture from architectural authority by exploring new construction methods. Stitched laminate fabric which is filled with earth materials is inflated according to the gravity of material. After hardening a layer of earth material and fabric, the filled sand is pulled out. Consequently, the mass, volume, and properties of the material form a space naturally. This is an architectural dream that everyone can tailor their own house built from what is beneath their feet.en_US
