ABSTRACT

Between the earth's ever-changing surface and the performative light of the sky there exists a reciprocity of horizon. 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 crossgenerate, 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. The house 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.
