The Harmonic House

Abstract [en]

Architecture is not like other artforms. All art, from cave paintings to modern dance, can be described as interpretations of human culture. Paint-ings and sculptures are attempts to freeze moments in time, and songs and poems are essentially a form of communication. Architecture, on the other hand, is the true physical manifestation of culture; it is the structure of our daily lives, the environment in which we live.

In short: Architecture is the habitat of man.

The Harmonic House is a small-scale collective villa based on human nature. I am investigating what living conditions can be if you design architecture from the psychological needs and wants of humans instead of strict functional needs of modern society. The project is based on a manifesto stating five points of good human living conditions. How would we live if we focused on inner development instead of economic prosperity?
