A Study of 'SPECIFIC'



‘Natalie Jeremijenko’s OneTrees project is a powerful demonstration of how the same genetic starting point will result in unique and specific expressions determined through each instance’s particular engagement with an environment.’

I believe architecture will act in a similar way with the addition of human aspects.
Proposed project: distribute set number of houses >100 to different locations in ONE country. The houses are identical in terms of outside shape and inside structure-numbers of rooms and placement of walls etc-inhabited for same length of time-roughly one year, data collection. The aim is to see the effects of human influence on the building; no major construction is to be undertaken-walls cannot be taken out-but usage can be arranged differently. The data collected will become a minor part of a larger scale of information which alerts people to the influence of culture, family number, environment on the building.
