temporary housing unit cabinet is by its nature an element that fits everytime in different contexts: natural landscapes, manmade , cities, mountains, plains . A foreign element to the genius loci, which is independent of the set of history, architecture, language and habits that characterize a place, a room, a city. This raises a junction between a first approach of hedonic and one type of camouflage. On the one hand the design of a form with an identity strong enough to become independent variable from the site. A foreign object to any landscape, like a car, a boat, a camper, self-referential form and materials, colors and reflections. This brings you to define an image sometimes so strong as to become itself an integral part of the landscape, such as phone booths in Britain, in the collective imagination become a "natural" element of the English landscape. The road we followed us is to seek a context from time to time, through mimesis. Μίμησις mimesis comes from the Greek word, which means imitation. In particular, it refers to the imitation of reality and the nature that is the foundation, according to the classical aesthetic of artistic creation. Every form of art would be so activity of mimesis. But this is used to find a context. Ludwig Wittgenstein argued that the context is essential to understand the meaning of a word, that the meaning of a word or a concept depends on its context. For this we have worked on a container mirror that reflected the landscape around him, a way to interact discreetly with the forms and nature encountered. The reflection is given by the finish of the ventilated wall panels with polished stainless steel. The first mirrors made ​​in antiquity were simple metal plates, often silver, copper or bronze, perfectly polished. Reflect the landscape. Reflect on the landscape. Return the same and a little different. An ephemeral habitation module that interacts with the various contexts in which it is inserted. Reinterprets them, restores them with a new image. The only element that invokes a domestic dimension of this box are the shutters, which become the multifunctional element that allows the house to change form. The shutters can slide , opening the rooms to the outside. They can tilt by 90 degrees to form a porch to protect from the sun. They can still rotate and become the walls of the terrace above the roof. Moving freely along the guide positioned in the perimeter can be combined in a variety of solutions. These shutters can have different shapes and colors. Choose the superstars with the color of the season is just a game to highlight the versatility of the project. The shutters could be produced on request to design. Everyone can enter your design and choose your color for drawing, landscape mirror, a small token of his desires.
