Miniature model of a house inside a glass dome, with grassy surroundings.

Studio for Two Artists

The 4-Square House explores the architectural relationships between figure and ground, solid and void, or the positive and negative of architecture within the confines of a four square grid that is encapsulated within an artificial atmosphere. This project takes on the physical organization of a Klein four-group to capture a variety of binary interconnections between spaces and concept such as domesticity, materiality, and our distorted understanding of nature as an augmentation of atmosphere over real space.
