House CÃclope / Idem
The beginnings of the project´s development were characterized by our early trips to the site, the analysis of our memory, observations, and imagination. This informed the team of several deformations that local buildings have developed through time and climatic conditions. Our observations lead us to define the presence of something attached to the local people´s way of living which we needed to transmit. It made the team realize that the house should always remain folded onto itself as if time would define its existence by the possibility of the house´s eventual collapse. A house that could decay gracefully or that has already begun its decay process. The result of this close examination resulted in a poem that was revised/corrected or /completed/ with pictures recollected from local buildings, references, and hand drawings. These opaque objects were used as the main framework in the design process.
