mondayMAKINGS #2 ~Drawing a Dream Home~

Drawing of a Black Pearl Farm Hut - 2009

This drawing was made in 2009, when I had one of my peak phases of dreaming wildly about my future, and what I want to do with my live. . .
I was in preparation for the entrance exam and portfolio needed for architecture college, when I found a photo somewhere in the web of this stilt house. It immediately triggered fantasies of becoming a (pearl) diver, living a poor but happy life at a beautiful beach. . . 
hahhh. . . 
woudn't you want to live in that hut, too?! =)

Anyways, of course I had to draw it. And here it is.
Still not my house. . .not even similar to my current home, actually. . .(besides, maybe the leaky walls;b) but still loved and dreamed of.

Someday,. . . I'll built something like that and declare it HOME. ^^ 

. . . Who's with me?! . . . 

Vernacular built-in Architecture...

For a seminar course in architectural constructions, I've been researching some vernacular architecture styles in different climate regions lately. By now I'm not feeling ready to write really competent info about it, but I noticed this much... People seem to have some kind of archaic interest to built-in their houses into landscapes...and not only easy to inhabit ones!!! o.Ô
It certainly gives an advantage in defense, when your home is camouflaged and hard to access by potential enemies and predators... But it also means a hardship on yourself when trying to get there I guess. ;b
Nevertheless I'd soooo allured to visit some of THESE following examples of (non-)architectural masterpieces in natural integration!!

Check them out! ^--^  ...  which one would you choose to live in for a while!?!?

(I know my pick damn well...can you guess?) ;b
