Deserted Dwelling

Taking inferences and ideologies often ideal home from the book 'Poetics of Space' by Gaston Bachelard, a dwelling that sets in the topography of arid desert of Sahara is designed. Inspiration is taken from animal homes constructed in the terrain. The abode is the tallest and the only withstanding rock structure in the vast and seamless terrain consisting of only sand dunes. The story of finding the structure, personalizing it, using it, and maintaining it unfolds as the experiences come together.
