___Home...
A point that identify (mark) you from others… a place of power
A point that sink among others… a place to hide
It evolves and changes as one do. It takes different forms and functions. It is what one
makes about of it. Some spent a life time searching for a home. A lot do associate it with
their childhood (place of birth_ family home). Freud interpreted that man continue to feel
as helpless children in need of protection, spiritual father. This oceanic feeling, feeling of
closeness is basically what derives this association.
We all do share the same living conditions which force us to distinguish between the
materialistic houses from the spiritual home. So what alter a house in to a home? What
makes this point your home?
You, the ruler of this territory. Here truss passes, ownership, welfare... everything is in
your command…no intervention. And just like animals as they mark their spaces,
territories by urine, we do by hanging photos, paintings…and as illustrated by Freud’s
paper on fetishism (objectification), we carry our fetish zed objects and memories where
by these we built a relationship with the solid house and tern it in to a home. Home,
feeling of warmth, serenity, protection…all must be found in one’s being before
transcending in to a physical location.
___The typical plan _the plan with out qualities
It basically developed from the primitive loft type; as a smooth space. It is the ideal
accommodation of business; where the architects of the typical plan understood the secret
of business.
Typical plan is the architecture of the rectangle any other shape makes it atypical (even a
square). It is the product of the new world; the stamp of modernity. It is neutral, rational,
and efficient. Typical plan is deep; it provides a sense of flow, abstraction, and identity.
Typical plan implies repetition. It presumes the presence of many others. It is the n`th
plan. “There is no longer unique but universal, no longer a place but a condition,
practically immune to local variation.” _S,M,L,XL o.m.a remkoolhass and bruce mau
“LEGO”___become one
‘’LEGO’’_ house is composed of Living unit as assemblage of light prefabricated small
elements. These rectangular modules are manufactured and packed off site as a modular
product unites and assembled on site. Every unit is molded in a specific way to provide
its unique function. The modules are designed to be transported by air (low weight and
suitable size), or any other means. When joined together, placed on a platform _these
units will form the space itself.
‘’LEGO’’is basically composed of four modules (2.3x12m h=2.8m each):
__bed module (bed-tub-dressing-bath)
__pool module (pool-Jacuzzi-mechanical)
__kitchen module (kitchen utilities-laundry-storage-bar)
__living module (living-working space)
--- Chimney dinning table/ chairs, stools,
Since polycarbonate sheets (PC sheets) have excellent properties including: heat/cold
resistance, impact resistance, light, and are self_ extinguishing, PC sheets are utilized as
building materials in “LEGO”. PC films having a high performance coating layer can be
cut to a desired shape and is subjected to composite molding such as insert_ injection
molding. Mechanical and electrical functions will run within the molded units.
Clear acrylic will be used for openings since it has good crack and weather resistance,
good electricity isolation, suitable for protecting the polishes and fittings, doors and
windows, instruments, no mechanical offending.

Due to design’s flexibility and formality…the modules can be industrialized and
‘’LEGO” can take different forms. The main modules are standard while finishes,
openings, accessories…are manipulative according to customer’s need. Accessories
range from type of acrylic, fabric, lighting… On the other hand, extra modules
(functions) can be added to the space. These modules include: entertainment module,
extra bed module, library module…keeping the design standard formal design
changeable and exclusive for any necessitate.
