What am I up too....besides working at a grocer, filling another sketchbook. Been hooked on combining quonset huts with shipping containers. Living in big boxes will drive ya nuts so I added quonset huts to get an arched ceiling. Also wondering if all steel structures are a good thing. Plywood and foam sandwich panels, wood post and beam and adobe are much better materials organically, psychologically and economically. I also think about having curved walls so that rooms are not square, art that is not square. I can't imagine too much technology in a personal space. Something about interaction on a base level vs time saving devices. They only save time if you are in a hurry to go to work for someone else. Personal elevators, how ever they function, are very cool. How do you build a place for less stress and distractions. One reason we are not more developed than we are is the intrusive media. We get flooded with ideas and speakings of all kinds, good, bad and real ugly. We need a filter and a flow rate control and an off switch. Personal, it is all personal now yet some of our biggest arguments are when we must choose a social distinction, philosophical, religious, historical label, genetic source vs the government legal code designation. The kool thing is that we can design a concept and live it and if you can train your children in this way.........utopia or the nut house is yours.
