Architectural Praxis House

Vang-anh Tran (Year: 2)

‘Architectural Praxis House’ a house for Architects and Designers The project is about how to facilitate an open practice, that allows mobility in constructing their space and lives, creating an intermediary between praxis and living. The house is a live-in studio residency for 30 – 50 designers and architects. With an expansive interior and exterior courtyard condition by which the residents would appropriate use , alter and construct their daily life and studio life, without strict limitations. It maximises the opportunity for residents to construct their own space and forms of life, mitigating porosity in collaboration. The generic frame becomes a complex arrangement of enclaves that are gridded and superimposed. The unfolded expansive courtyard becomes a site for boundaries drawn by the yellow tape, where communal studio spaces are constructed, according to their needs.
