Horizon: Computing a Sustainable Surface by Dave Mans + Matthew Standeven
Between the earth’s ever-changing surface and the performative light of the sky there exists a reciprocity of horizon. The house here operates as a moment between two systems, a covariant derivative between light and ground. Within the natural system that is life, energy exchange is essential and cyclical. Energy is consumed in order that it may further consume, stored only to be later utilized, and emitted back into a ubiquitous system for retrieval at another time. Its use is multifaceted, yet its essence is singular. Horizon House provides a rhythm and a structure against which all other systems are measured. These dance across one another with subtle inflections, accumulating pressure, and through that pressure’s expulsion, open pockets of space. The intricate differentiations of the single unit cross-generate, creating spontaneous relationships with equally spontaneous programmatic functions. These relationships form a new, hybridized language; by growth and incursion into the space between, they generate a program at the point of the horizon. This emergent space thus demands new dialogue between passing systems. Reciprocity breeds reactions back into the building, creating a piece of architecture thoroughly informed by and infused with renewable, life-sustaining energy.
