ideal house

The suggestion of modular concepts (in lieu of forms or features that fit together to build a structure) to be applied on an unlimited number and type of houses/buildings.

Autoconstruction; not of a determined physical space (or its idealization and representation on a blueprint) but that of the dynamics and function of space, linked at every moment to the inhabitant/user.

These concepts can be built in purposefully designed spaces, or can be applied to already existing buildings.

They can be expressed with models made with medicine boxes, cans of food, eggs (whole but emptied of their content); with architectural plans traced or printed on newspaper sheets (preferably those with the supermarket or chemist offers), or by simply addressing space, showing evidence of (physical) void and filling it up with a reflection or notion (imaginary).
