In his book “The Poetics of Space,” Gaston Bachelard mentions that “the house shelters daydreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace”. This notion of home and daydreaming establishes a profound connection between the act of building and our own identity, both in constant protection from various external agencies and systems.
The project explores the construction of domesticity using familiar materials and objects to suggest our constant elaboration of memories associated to the home. From the aggregation of rooms that create a home to the collection of quotidian objects that reinforce our individual identities, they all contribute to the construction of the memories we cherish as part of our concept of home. We are in constant construction.
