“Architecture is about the lack of stability and how to address it. Architecture is about the void and how to cross it. Architecture is about the inhospitable and how to live within it.” –Lebbeus Woods

DOMUS is experimental anti-seismic architecture incorporating spatialised seismic sound and light. The engineered resesearch of DOMUS is a study of low cost architecture design for present day and future disaster zones and based on the open hardware Hexayurt shelter system presented at Materials & Applications, Los Angeles, opening fall of *02014.

20ft high by 16ft wide, DOMUS presents transitional construction techniques for autonoumous architecture design lasting 6-12 months plus. This two story high extended Hexayurt design will be built with THERMAX (CI), 8′ x 4′ insulation panels and bi-directional filament tape. DOMUS expands on ‘DISASTR Hotel’ performance intervention presented at Sydney University, Australia during 2011.
