TEMPORARY ISLAND HOUSING
Modular Outdoor Sleep Frames on Rock Dugouts
This project occupies a series of seasonal cultivation terraces on a sloped, arid East Aegean terrain for minimum impact. It contains three types of spaces: a permanent, dry-stone, indoor dugout for sleep, wet, storage, cistern, and electrical spaces integrated into the terraced landscape; a series of modular outdoor structures, seasonally erected and (dis) assembled for semi-outdoor sleep and living; and extensive, shaded, in-between spaces for cooking, eating, gardening, and gathering. These spaces are built using vernacular tectonics including clay / dried seagrass roofs, bamboo screens and panels, dry stone masonry, cisterns, pre-charred wood frame, fabric screens, terazzo and limestone finishings, responding to existing building code for assemblable structures. The earth base and light frames collect shade, sun, and water, resulting to a Net-Zero Building.
