Third Exemplar: Mobius House. UN STUDIO 1998


UN Studio (Van Berkel & Bos) Mobius House
Het Gooi, Amsterdam, Holland 1998

The mobius strip presents itself in form like a representation of modern life.  The cyclical routine of working class life can be seen to be formalised within this homes organisation.  When we think of the daily 9-5 monday to friday grind, it looks and feels like a Mobius strip. Why not consider the relentless monotony of our modern lives  and use it as an idea for programming within a home.  This home is a highly organised container of human activities coordinating the circulation within the home according to the order of events within the day.
