inverted shadow
architectureThis architectural design proposal hypothesises that the second home, a holiday house, has turned into a simulation and staging of reality for the inhabitant who belongs to the category of the modern nomad. During the architectural design process military strategies were adapted to invade maps and space on Lanzarote.
The house emerges as a programmed landscape, a datascape that consists of different parts, active and inactive spatial fields, infrastructural data that is informed by the user and its movement through space. Different zones emerge that mediate between each other: the electronic and digital infrastructure enables information flows and communication inside the house and also with its environment. On top, a free, continuous ephemeral space spirals and loops like an infinite thread, adapting to all situations and representing projective space. Spaces can be switched on and off by the interaction of the user with the house. The latter space is connected to a fixed or stabilizing spatial element, made from concrete. In the lowest part the buried, most private space is located, representing silence due to its distance from the other parts.
