Chen House in Taiwan by C-Laboratory

The Chen house by C-Laboratory is not strong or heavy –- it is weak and flexible. It is also not closing the environment out, but designed to give the farmers a needed shelter.
It is elevated slightly to let flood waters run underneath.
Ruin is when man-made has become part of nature. With this house we were looking forward to design a ruin.
























I like the simplicity of this house. It appears to be well designed for a fairly warm climate, but it looks like it could be uncomfortable in bad or hot weather (no sun shades on windows). Overall, it is very cool. I’d like to see the floor plan
