overview
This studio blog has been established to support collaborative research, analysis, and documentation of (re)HOUSE--an interdisciplinary design endeavor of undergraduate architecture students and faculty at City University of New York/New York City College of Techonology, School of Technology & Design, Department of Architectural Technology. (re)HOUSE is a coordinated effort serving CUNY's Emerging Scholars and Honors Scholars programs.

INTENT
(re)HOUSE asks us to reconsider our preconceived notions of home.
With repurposable flexibility as a guiding pathos, this design-build collaborative, part of the Emergent Environment series, will build upon research-intensive approaches employed in our previous exploration. (re)HOUSE team members will collaboratively examine and deploy strategies for sustainability-driven, analytically considered modular furniture, interior partition systems, and designed objects. Inquiry into recyclable/affordable materials, emerging fabrication approaches, and efficient production methods will
be investigated toward capitalizing on minimum waste/maximum return strategies for the design of a 600 square foot, open plan, live/work environment.
Concurrent with sustainable thought, architecture and designed objects should not simply form, but rather perform various functions beyond those conventionally associated with them. Layers related to structural, programmatic, environmental, and contextual forces will inform our design ethos by their local, regional, national, or global appropriateness. In (re)HOUSE, performance, therefore, reflects both of its connotations--utilitarian and pragmatic while simultaneously engendering an identifiable theatrical/cultural value. As such, (re)HOUSE will ultimately function as a practical/symbolic stage for both living and working.

pedagogy
(re)HOUSE is a scholarly, collaborative, and research-intensive endeavor. Various anthropomorphic and environmental inputs will be indentified and then taken through a series of hand-generated and computational transformations. The resulting output will propose a charted and mapped sequence of process moves that result in an apartment interior and its contents fabricated collaboratively. (re)HOUSE will reflect hybridization of thought as an anthropo-spatial construct. These constructcs will adjust to various implied uses and experiential space-making opportunities reflecting origins mapped in the design process.
Students will ultimately work at half- and full-scale on detail/joint systems, modular systems, partitioning systems, lighting, textiles, and designed objects. Students shall investigate performance criteria and potential flexible applications for permanent use beyond (re)HOUSE itself.
