House
for
a
Collector
Coordinated
by
Fiona
Lim
Tung
The
house
for
a
collector
is
a
hybrid
type
that
blurs
the
boundaries
between
house,
museum,
and
archive.
As
a
building,
this
small
but
complex
collection
of
spaces
must
participate
in
the
concern
for
the
thoughtful
and
inventive
accommodation
and
augmentation
of
the
collection,
while
still
addressing
notions
of
home.
My name is Adrien Fera, I am a second-year undergraduate student and I believe that a happy life stems from knowledge of and gratitude for your setting and all things within it. If every day you acknowledged the energy, intention, and passion put into the creation of everything around you, you would continually be reminded that you are meant to exist in this place. As a student of dance for most of my life, the ability to affect and observe movement through a designed space is an important concept in my design process. To me, "good design" is accessible to all, conscious of its surroundings and its impact on the earth, while existing lightly upon it.
