The Project
This is a house I designed to be located in the region of Valdivia in the south of Chile. The weather is very rainy, strong wind and earthquakes. The concept of the project is the comparison between the different natural conditions of the site to musical instruments in order to conceive an architecture. When the wind, the rain and the sun interact or work independently from one another they form an orchestral unity. It's the music of Nature. The concept will then be to unify different elements and different musical instruments to conceive a house whose maestros are the weather conditions themselves. The project will include these given elements such as piano keys, the curve or the cords of a violin. All of these will create an "architectural mutant" made of musical instruments, a mixture and a variety we can find in the whole of the orchestra. The main material used for the project is the araucaria wood, a typical chilian conifere.
The Model
For the model, I have chosen to build a section of the house as a part of the kitchen, the living room and the dining room. At the beginning, I drilled holes to set the foundations. I made some molds around these holes and pour the stone. I decided for a platform structure. So after the platform was done, I built the wall all using bass wood. The windows are glass and the rust metal is rust metal paint on texture paper. The dry wall is museum cardboard. The roof is covered with sand papers.
