How Do You Run Away from Home?
"For some people, psychological home has clearly moved online. I recall an op-ed somewhere several years ago, comparing cellphones to pacifiers. Appropriate, if they represent a connection to psychological ‘home.’ Putting your phone away is like suddenly being teleported away from home to a strange new place.

For others, the three R’s still dominate the idea of home. Online life is not satisfying for these people. I think this segment will shrink, just as the number of people who are attached to paper books is shrinking.

For a speculative third category, we have the sitcom-ish idea of interchangeable people in roles. I am not sure this category is real yet. I see some evidence for it in my own life, but it is not compelling.

But for a fourth category of people, the need for a psychological home itself is reduced. A utilitarian home is enough. The getting away drive has irreversibly altered psychology."

This Is My Home on Vimeo
"On an unseasonably warm November night in Manhattan on our way to get ice cream, we stumbled upon what appeared to be a vintage shop, brightly lit display window and all. As we began to walk in, a man sitting out front warned us that we were welcome to explore, but nothing inside was for sale. Our interests piqued, we began to browse through the collections the man out front had built throughout his life. This is a story of a man and his home."

Hanauchi-ya renovation project by Tadashi Yoshimura Architects | Spoon & Tamago
"Late last year Tadashi Yoshimura Architects ended a year-long renovation project of Hanauchi-ya, a 200-year old wooden home located in Nara prefecture, about an hour out of central Osaka. Despite undergoing what was thought to be several thoughtless prior renovations and decades of water damage, the plan – all along – was to reuse existing materials as much as possible. As expected, this proved to be a technical nightmare with recurring surprises (“oh look, another wall behind the wall we just tore down”) making it virtually impossible for the architects to ever leave the site.

But look at those results! The seamlessness between old and new materials makes it feel like we’ve been transported back to the 1800s. There are some fascinating pictures of the process up on the architect’s blog. Of note, these pictures of taking reclaimed mud and using it to make walls."

THIS MUST BE THE PLACE
"There's no place like home. It's where we live, work and dream. It's our sanctuary and our refuge. We can love them or hate them. It can be just for the night or for the rest of our lives. But whoever we may be, we all have a place we call home.

THIS MUST BE THE PLACE is a series of short films that explore the idea of home; what makes them, how they represent us, why we need them.

THIS MUST BE THE PLACE is produced and directed by Ben Wu and David Usui, of Lost & Found Films."

What's on Your Wall? Mike Maxwell - voiceofsandiego.org: Behind The Scene: The Art And Drama Of Making Art In San Diego
"As soon as I walked into Maxwell's house at the beginning of January to meet him and appear on his Live Free Podcast, I knew I'd have to come back with Sam Hodgson to feature the artistic contents of his home in our What's On Your Wall? series. We've already checked out artist Kim MacConnel's Encinitas home, and art gallery director Ben Strauss-Malcolm's home in Golden Hill.<br />
<br />
Most of the art in Maxwell's house he procured by trading his own work. He's collaborated with some of the artists, worked for others, curated shows for still others. "I would pay top dollar, if I had top dollar," he says."<br />

OBIA, THE THIRD: GPOYW
"Flux is great as a concept until you actually have to sit down and get stuff done. I’m one of those strange people who enjoys working. I like being in the haven of my studio—busting out ideas and trying out new experiments and explorations within the laboratory of these four white walls. And yet, I cannot help but notice how everything around me feels more and more temporary. Everything is moving about so much more quickly now. The moment I create something it vanishes in my memory. My own work becoming information to be transferred and over layered—over and over until it is only a glimmer of something I once interacted with, something I once knew. This is not limited to the experience of making or working. I don’t know about you, but I see and feel it everywhere I turn."

tiny houses | pdx : rlingard.com
"This project provides an affordable, infill development alternative for entry-level Portland, Oregon home buyers. On a single 50'x100', 4 compact single family houses share the space of a typical, single family residence. The operable fence partitions and interior layout of these homes allows each living space to open either to the communal garden space, the private courtyard or both. Modular construction is used to minimize construction waste, increase quality and performance, and maintains the project's tight budget goals."

Nau : The Thought Kitchen » The Signal Shed
"If you look for it, you might not see it. Rising high above Wallowa Lake…Eastern Oregon sits the award-winning Signal Shed—a 130-square-foot modern mountain outpost. Built with mostly recycled materials, the outbuilding is simple in detail, yet beautiful in design: recaptured wood siding is stained dark to help the shed blend into the natural landscape. Cedar shutters protect the windows and secure the interior in the winter. A large, sliding barn door opens to create an outdoor living space. And the entire structure is built on floating piers to lessen its impact.<br />
<br />
It’s the ultimate expression of minimalism…Its simple beauty, low-impact design and effortless utilitarianism…<br />
To get a closer look, we decided, with some stealthy sleuthing, to track down its mastermind—Ryan Lingard. The Portland architect was more than willing to sit down with us and share his insight into his process of sustainable design, off-the-grid building, and how he did it all for under $10k."

New Ways of Designing the Modern Workspace - NYTimes.com
"Adjustable desks, foldout benches & louvered shades have their place but…furniture is not the problem…But in the same way that bamboo floors, hybrid SUVs and eco-couture haven’t done much to curb carbon emissions, designing (& buying) more stuff for offices, no matter how sleek or sustainable it is, likely won’t help reset the culture of work.<br />
<br />
Design itself is the problem because it is being used to solve the wrong ones…has to expand beyond noodling with the cubicle. I’m willing to bet that almost any office worker would happily swap Webcam lighting…for solutions to more pressing work issues like…burnout or fear of losing health coverage…<br />
<br />
Two other factors often undervalued (and often ignored) in the workplace? Family and time…<br />
<br />
We shouldn’t be rethinking the cubicle or corner office but rather rethinking all aspects of work…"

he said, she said
"an exhibition and event series held in the home of Pamela Fraser and Randall Szott. They will take turns presenting what amounts to an ongoing conversation about art and culture - Ms. Fraser presenting art and artists, and Mr. Szott sharing the activities of people who work in other contexts. Together they hope to offer up a fun and thoughtful take on current ideas in art and life."<br />
<br />
Randall: "he said she said is not an exhibition space. It’s two people sharing things they like with the public. It’s a conversation, not an argument–isn’t that what couples always say when people catch their disagreements?"<br />
<br />
Pamela: "he said-she said is an exhibition space in the home of organizers Pamela Fraser and Randall Szott. In the tradition of the apartment-gallery, shows are held in a domestic setting, in this case, relatively unaltered. Exhibitions will fluctuate between he said and she said, and will function as arguments for their respective interests and positions."

Jay Shafer: The Politics of Tiny Houses
"In February, 2011, we spent a couple of hours with Jay Shafer (Tumbleweed Tiny House Company), in his 96 square foot house-on-wheels in Sebastopol, California. Jay is one of the more well-known and successful tiny house designers, and there’s no denying the “curb appeal” of his designs. That appeal is generated by Jay’s careful attention to proportion as well as by his decisions about which elements to include in–and more precisely, what to leave out of—his designs. But as much as he enjoys talking about design, what he really wanted to talk about was the politics of tiny houses. Why building and zoning codes are stacked against tiny houses, how the costs of purchase and upkeep compare to the big houses he calls “debtors’ prisons”, and why, when the Big One shakes the land around San Francisco Bay, he’d rather be in his tiny house than anywhere else."

Dash Marshall : An Apartment for Space-Age Lovers
"Our clients come from the future…They wanted a home to charge up between missions; they wanted a place where every boot and book, every single little thing could be hidden away; they wanted something that would make the most out of their 715 square feet…Dash replied with a highly flexible, intensely personal, high-gloss home for two Space-Age Lovers. The project is designed around four strategies →<br />
<br />
Simple Spaces: …making the rooms larger…using sliding partitions…recombine the rooms of their home at will, yielding many different ways to live.<br />
<br />
A friendly Black Hole: …flexible zone which can be annexed to the living room or bedroom, or optionally kept closed as a large walk-through closet space…<br />
<br />
Everything In Its Right Place: …too much stuff & wanted to be able to live in serenity, without being reminded of their earthly possessions on a daily basis…<br />

Optics: The reflections of the Apartment tell the story of the zero-gravity life that our Space-Age Lovers strive to live…"

California Bungalow - Wikipedia
"traces its origins to Indian province of Bengal, word itself derived from Hindi bangla or house in Bengali style. The native thatched roof huts were adapted by British, who built bungalows as houses for administrators and as summer retreats. Refined & popularized in California, many books list the first California house dubbed a bungalow as the one designed by the San Francisco architect A. Page Brown in the early 1890s. However, Brown's close friend, Joseph Worcester, designed a bungalow for himself & erected it atop a hill in Piedmont, across the bay from San Francisco, in 1877-78. The bungalow influenced Bernard Maybeck, Willis Polk & other San Francisco architects & Jack London, who rented Worcester's house from 1902-03 called it a "bungalow w/ a capital 'B'".<br />
<br />
The bungalow became popular because it met the needs of changing times in which the lower middle class were moving from apartments to private houses in great numbers. Bungalows were modest, inexpensive & low-profile."

space clearing (15 Jan., 2011, at Interconnected)
"Constrained walks and the dérive both reveal the city's psychogeography, and force the city to give up more of itself. It's funny to find, right on my doorstep, the streets I didn't know that I didn't know, the ones I'd got the unknown habit of avoiding. The city grows.<br />
<br />
Space clearing makes visible and disrupts the psychogeography of my home. By standing in far corners, I find new perspectives. I strengthen rarely visited spots in my own mental map. Later, I find myself noticing the corners more. My house looks larger. The changed shape of my rooms encourages me to walk differently about the space. I stand in slightly unfamiliar spots, look at my bookshelves with a new-found unfamiliarity, and this prompts new combinations of titles to come to my attention, and new ideas.<br />
<br />
I wonder if I could make something to do this for me? Maybe a robot vacuum cleaner programmed to find rarely visited corners and play an attention-grabbing sample, hey, over here, over here."

"Like us, many people found their way to Noriko’s through a friend’s recommendation. We heard about the place from Satoko and Kok-Meng, a Shanghai-based couple who met each other at Le Petit Xiaoxiao and later founded KUU design office together. “I wanted to create a small creative community by making my home a meeting place,” Noriko tells us about her activities resonating Chinese communality. “I have made many new friends at my place.”"

Buy vs. Rent: An Update - NYTimes.com
"Below is an updated list of rent ratios — the price of a typical home divided by the annual cost of renting that home — for 55 metropolitan areas across the country.<br />
<br />
We last covered this subject about eight months ago, and you’ll notice that most ratios have not changed much since then. A good rule of thumb is that you should often buy when the ratio is below 15 and rent when the ratio is above 20. If it’s between 15 and 20, lean toward renting — unless you find a home you really like and expect to stay there for many years."

egg shaped mobile home
"undoubtedly one of the most interesting project getting featured on the world wide web, the egg-shaped mobile home by twenty-four year old dai haifei is a response to beijing's soaring rental prices. haifie, a recent architecture school graduate, has designed and lived in this temporary unit for the last two months.

the 'egg', measuring six feet in height sits on two wheels and is constructed from basket woven bamboo splints. the exterior features a patchwork of small sacks containing seeds of grass that will grow to eventually provide insulation. a south facing solar panel 'provides' power to a single lamp on the inside. during the day, natural daylight enters through an opening in the ceiling. the entrance can be propped open to facilitate natural ventilation.

given the small size and simple shape, the layout is minimal: a half circumference bed and low, built in storage line the perimeter, making the space efficient for bare living. "

jun igarashi architects: layered house
"two-storey dwelling for a family of four located east of hokkaido in the old city district of saroma-cho. the design designates long slices of the floor plan to separate programs, creating with a linear compilation a house that is literally layered from one end to the other…<br />
<br />
the series of buffer spaces created by the terrace, sun parlor, and guest room act as volumetric layers that diffuse the light. semitransparent curtains between these spaces give the inhabitants control over how connected the interior is to the exterior. this element of layers becomes a motif for the house and is able to be seen from multiple rooms through square apertures and openings.

Lifework - Herman Miller ["Ideal Live/Work Space: Architects Tim Durfee and Iris Anna Regn"]
"In our future house we hope to build on this small example of telescoping space: where the different parts are simultaneously visible, welcoming different modes of living.<br />
<br />
Iris: I have always admired the way Marguerite Duras worked – stolen spaces in her living room, or in a simple sunny nook. Having work areas in various locations of the house, somewhat defined (by Duras as stacks of books and ashtrays), allows for the different functions and humors.<br />
<br />
Duras writes: “There are houses that are too well made, too well thought out, completely without surprises, devised in advance by experts. By surprise I mean the unpredictable element produced by the way a house is used…” (Practicalities: Marguerite Duras Speaks to Jerome Beaujour, Grove/Atlantic, Inc, 1993)"

Can "Massive Personalization" Rebuild Quake-Devastated Chile? | Co.Design
"Chilean architect Emilio Marin has an idea that could restore housing better and faster.<br />
<br />
Marin proposes throwing up prefab units that can be stretched, pulled, tweaked, and grouped according to residents’ desires. A notch above mass-produced disaster shelters (see: FEMA trailers), but more homogeneous than customized single-family homes (see here), the houses offer what Marin calls “massive personalization.” You can specify 400-square-foot buildings with standard pitched roofs or triple-roof buildings that are three times as big. (You can also turn them into community centers or more complex structures.) “We believe that qualitative values in architectonic solutions like spatial quality, quality of life, space and cubic meters cannot be reserved only for the elites,” Marin says. Cutting through the archispeak, the suggestion is that both rich and poor should get to determine the parameters of where they live -- quickly and relative to the size of their pocketbooks."

Jonathan Harris . Oct 25, 2009 [Los Angeles]
"By anybody's count, I was having what one might call a Very Good Time. But as the day bore on, the tug of nature grew stronger and stronger on my heart, and all I could think about was getting back up into the mountains. I guess you could call my ailment escapism, but I wonder whether that tired quasi-Buddhist maxim of needing to learn to exist happily in any setting isn't at least a little bit bullshit. Places exert a stabilizing or stultifying energy upon us, and the force of that energy seems proportional to our sensitivity. Life is short, places abound, and some of us are sensitive, so why not find places that provide the kind of energy we need?"<br />
<br />
Also: "I prefer the housekeeping philosophy of keeping only those things that provide essential utility or essential nostalgia. It can make for a sparse house, depending on your sentimentality."

2. Make our homes part of a sustainable ecosystem and encourage residents to cook, eat, sleep, work, consume, and live more sustainably<br />
3. Build homes that are efficient, adaptable, and co-created by the people that live in them<br />
4. Provide comfortable, secure, healthy, and beautiful environments for residents<br />
5. Redesign our housing market and industry to ensure fairness and access<br />
6. Rethink city planning, zoning, and legal structures to facilitate our transition into slow homes and slow communities."

When Less Was More - Opinionator Blog - NYTimes.com
"The popularity of simpler living made it possible for one American developer, William Levitt, to realize the prewar dream of the European modern architects to use industrialization for housing. During the war, Levitt had become an expert in mass-producing homes for shipyard workers in Virginia. When it ended, Levitt and his sons created a prototype 750-square-foot, one-floor house—with a living room, kitchen/dining area, two small bedrooms, a bathroom and an unfinished “expansion attic”—to fit on a 60 x 100 foot lot. Set on concrete slabs like those at the shipyards, the new houses were built quickly and cheaply on a sort of assembly line, with pre-cut lumber and nails shipped from the Levitts’ factories in California...

"The Eames House hints at the myriad reasons why Charles and Ray Eames have attained an irreproachable degree of design celebrity over the years. The building isn't just structurally interesting or aesthetically telling or technically impressive or personally relevant to the Eames story. Much more than any other Eames creation, it is all of those things combined. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006, the house has been extensively documented by the U.S. Library of Congress as a beacon that "represented the fruits of postwar American life, combining living and working, indoors and outdoors, high style and popular culture.""

"In the 21st century, living is an art. Balancing home and work is just one aspect. We work to live; we live to work. The space in which that happens is ultimately changing. As houses evolve into workspaces, and workspaces become more hospitable to longer hours, we see the lines breaking down. Microwavable breakfastlunchdinner, office living rooms, wi-fi, cloud-computing, all are demanded evolutions of a space caught in crisis.

Lifeguard Tower / Lazar Design Build | ArchDaily
"His latest home, The Lifeguard Tower, rises three stories high on a corner lot with an expansive view of Hermosa Beach. The architecture is comprised of three trapezoidal structures, one atop the other. From the base, the residence narrows as it reaches the “look-out” tower room that gives onto a picturesque,1,600-square-foot grass-covered entertainment and dining deck facing the ocean. At night, the tower glows like a beacon of light, as it is beautifully illuminated through multiple windows that surround the structure. Although the 3,400-square-foot home is contemporary in spirit, it takes its inspiration from the classic old architecture and lifeguard towers of Maine and Cape Cod, where Lazar spent the summers of his childhood."

Hvitträsk | Museovirasto [photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dw/sets/72157606590131117/]
"Hvitträsk was built between 1901–1903 by architects Herman Gesellius, Armas Lindgren and Eliel Saarinen. The main building, designed in National Romantic style, built of logs and natural stone, was both a common studio and a home for Eliel Saarinen and Armas Lindgren for some years after it was completed. During that time, Gesellius lived in the courtyard building and later moved into the north-wing of the main building after Lindgren relocated in Helsinki.

Markasaurus » The House of the Future is in Your Pocket
"iPod = ultimate in self-contained gadgets- requires no hard-wired infrastructure connection, mouse, keyboard, peripherals...doesn’t even provide you w/ method for connecting them. While Evinrude outboard that Banham loved may have allowed you to mount motor on any boat...iPhone is limited only by what developers create for it. Banham focused on mechanical devices that did specific tasks & failed to see that in future you wouldn’t need “precise gadget” to deal w/ variety of tasks- 1 gadget can now function as phone, camera, research library, file cabinet, Rolodex & more. Social networked & augmented reality applications allow another world to be created on top of physical 1. Banham believed most futuristic home was RV that allowed residents to be endlessly mobile. Instead of needing traveling home, we live in virtual space enabled by gizmo that fits in shirt pocket. I think Banham would approve.

"One of the main draws of Kevin Freeman and Jen Feldmann’s house is its connection to the neighborhood, which is why the front porch was a must. “Homes that have a door but no outside space say, ‘I’m not interested in you,’” designer Christopher Robertson explains. “This says, ‘I’m here to be part of the community.’”

Blair Residence / Bruce Bolander | ArchDaily
"Having grown accustomed to small spaces, severe restrictions on building size imposed by geologic conditions and building codes were not seen as insurmountable by a couple moving from SoHo to the Santa Monica Mountains in Malibu. The 2.5 acre site provided sun and air and enormous panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island and the red sandstone outcroppings of the local mountains."

On unplanned and unplannable moments - Artichoke's Wunderkammern
"The best moments of life are usually unplanned for, indeed unplannable. The most one can do in designing a house to further intimacy and family living is to allow enough space to have one occupation take place beside another, so that people will meet spontaneously even when they are not drawn together by a common job. What is wrong with too sedulous a division of labor is simply the fact that it divides people." Mumford PEDIATRICS Vol. 55 No. 2 February 1975, pp. 265

Los Angeles News - Living off the Grid - page 1
"You've seen them. Maybe one has even parked on your street: a conversion van, curtains drawn, or a camper with signs of everyday life. They are so ubiquitous in Venice that some locals have been trying to turn the onetime hippie enclave into a parking-permit-only town as a way to ward off these "undesirables." Who are these people who can live in a van? Some have made the choice to downsize their lives, not wanting to live conventionally or pay rent, and some have been forced to scale back their lives due to losing their job or their home. Either way, it takes a certain kind of person to give up the trappings most of us have become so accustomed to. Living in a van is not just a lifestyle but a state of mind. Many thousands in L.A. are living in their vehicles or in tents or some other temporary shelter. Four of their stories follow."

Ken Kellogg - Yen Home
"With views to the Pacific Ocean this home has three levels that wind down and around a light-giving landscaped core. Situated on the north slope of a hill viewed from Scenic Drive, south of the University of California in La Jolla, the roof is designed with integral solar water heated panels. This home is also designed with a long, curved, textured concrete wall on the carport side for maintenance, sound, privacy, and protection from misguided vehicles. The raised floors act as horizontal shear panels allowing the posts to cantilever through to the roof for resistance of seismic forces permitting 100% windows for views where other homes are obstructed mostly by walls. Laminated wood beams also serve as mullions for the windows around the landscape core, project up, over, and roll far outside, in a web of roof beams creating the feeling of outside being inside to the ends of various cantilevered roofs. ..."

Matt Hern » Blog Archive » WALKING AWAY UNDERWATER
"intrigued by the story originating in the LA Times that got wide play this we. Brent White, a University of Arizona law school professor, authored a study that urges ‘underwater’ homeowners (those who owe more than their house is worth) to just walk away from the house and cut their losses ... So aside from the tsunami of social and economic repercussions if half of homeowners are in a position where abandoning their homes is the smart thing to do, another thought came to mind. What happens when the US deficit crosses the 100% threshold of GDP? ... Homeower debt. Credit card debt. National debt. Ecological debt. All of it relies implicitly and explicitly on mythologies of endless growth. Sooner, rather than later, or maybe now, the insanity of it comes clear and people rightly just walk away from the house.

"This project is both an exercise of formal and structural concentration. The dense program of this house for a family with four children (five bedrooms, three bathrooms, family room, studio, etc) is fitted between a regular interior duct and the surface of the largest legally possible exterior wall. The prospect of a future division of the site adds to the decision of concentrating all the program in a three storey prism on the highest point of the land so as to have vistas beyond the trees located on the lowest area of the plot."

Float House: Change Observer: Design Observer
"today, architects at Morphosis in Los Angeles, working with graduate architecture students at the University of California, Los Angeles, unveiled another solution: a floating house. In the Netherlands, as Morphosis principal Thom Mayne points out, the notion is not novel, yet it hasn’t really been tried in this country. Rather than design around the idea of a house as a fixture on the ground, the Morphosis/UCLA team came up with a house that can close up tight and rise like a boat does in a marina at high tide — and do so affordably."

"The ZEROW HOUSE is a 520 square foot zero energy home designed for the 2009 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon by students from Rice University. The house is run completely off of solar power generated on site, through the use of a photovoltaic array and solar hot water system that collects solar energy. The ZEROW HOUSE is not only technologically innovative, it is also affordable, demonstrating that solar power is viable and that zero energy houses can be an attainable goal for many."

Ramshackle Architecture Futures: Danube Waterways | > jim rossignol
"Assuming the world does end up flooding, thanks to defrosted polar regions, then we’re unlikely to be taking to the seas. We’re more likely to just cluster along the new coastlines, dealing with the flooding and building our new homes around it. Bruce Sterling looks at such things happening right now in this Serbian documentary, where people living on uninsurable land, or regularly flooded sections of the Danube. They are building piecemeal dwellings that either float, or are on stilts, and repurpose and reuse materials from other dwellings."

"The home of Bob and Helen Parr in “The Incredibles” is one of the finest examples of mid-century modernism in all of animated cinema. Thanks to Pixar’s skilled artists and miraculous CGI, every detail in the architecture to the furniture to the decor can be an idealized depiction of an American suburban residence in the ’60s. Cheers to production designer Lou Romano and art director Ralph Eggleston for giving fans of this style so much eye candy."

Mr. Friedman, who said he sees the ocean as “a new frontier for pioneers to try things out,” plans to have a single-family prototype built next year, and has set a goal of housing 100,000 people in the next 25 years."
