House of the sun
Installation
Here, we live in the shade.
What if, in a few years’ time, the cities of the south were doomed to nothing but dust, stones and heat, how would human beings protect themselves?

Set in the geo-climatic reality of the Mediterranean, the House of the Sun offers passive, non-impact cooling systems for domestic spaces.
These membrane objects are activated by wind and water, and deploy at different distances from the body.
