OBSTRUCTION_02 [flip-flop]

"... language is a system of interconnected elements that necessitate, through comparison, the presence of all others for its meaning.."

The second obstruction is to "flip flop" the house, in other words to take 5 of the key components/ideas of the original house and create a new interpretation using the opposite of those ideas. The opposite 5 descriptive terms/phrases become the rules that guide the new design. 

                        __The whole process also needs to be a 3-D discovery (models, models, models.......)

The 5 descriptions/ terms that I chose are:

1. Uninterrupted views 
2. Diagonally separated volumes 
3. House is buried away
4. Slow discovery of all elements 
5. Intertwined building and landscape

: and their opposites

Interrupted views  1. 

Joined masses (perpendicular)  2.

Lifted Up or Dug out   3.

Interior progression (fast/direct)  4.

Separation of architecture and nature 5.
