INTRODUCTION
The competition is open to all students of architecture and interior design
in going about our daily lives
there are some simple requirements that define our existence within the modern world
these can be applied to urban or rural, developed, developing or timeless societies
we need to sleep [re-coop, rejuvenate, revitalize]
we need to eat, and with this, prepare our food in whatever format culturally familiar
we need to live [which is where we express who we are, our personal interests, our social beings]
and we need to take care of our souls, whether in prayer, in meditation, in music or movement, astronomy, aerobics or combinations of these and/or other activities………
add to the above
a commercial interface with the broader community in the form of a shop, a workshop,
guest-lodgings, or any place to which ‘a customer’ will come
all in one place
resulting in a domestic scaled, single space, mixed use, multi-functional environment.
