Also, this one.
this one is not actually a house. it's a studio built by Scandinavian architecture and planning students/interns.
To quote the news report from the site Project Tacloban:
"Architecture students Ivar Tutturen, Trond Hegvold and Alexander E. Furunes have initiated and built a study centre in Tacloban, the Philippines, in collaboration with NGO Streetlight and the local community. Completed in summer 2011, the study centre serves children in the seawall slum community of the city of Tacloban, and was built by the architects and local families."
I was very much impressed by these people. The fact that they are interns are able to set up a studio and work in places you'd not even find in the map is just simply amazing. I'm a little jealous.
My art teacher and friend will be done with his studio before the year ends. Since the studio was formally drawn on paper at the time my husband and I (if it's still not obvious, we are art classmates, just as we were urban planning classmates years ago, proof enough that we are THAT inseparable) we're at the peak of our apprenticeship under Art Teacher. Art Teacher invites husband to brainstorm and has been given free access to poke his head at the site once in a while, just to check on the construction details. So this Studio Practice is "our" work in progress, on a physical, educational, theoretical level. We're expecting societally (it's a word yes, click on it to see the link to meriam-webster) we'll make relevant progress. i'd like to believe that's the ultimate goal of our project.
Anyhow. what i meant to say here is that when i first saw the Workshop Project (Studio Tacloban), i thought "this could very well be a house for working class families like ours." It's impossible.
I know. It's too cheap and made of many lights materials ,too radical to even be considered by close-minded developers as a house fit for a subdivision.
FIN.
