Wind Dyed House

Came across this house by acaa in Yokosuka Kanagawa, Japan, it wasn't the design of the building that first caught my eye, but the name.


The idea of a building being changed - perhaps relatively quickly - by its environment seems very interesting to me.  It also throws up ideas of using instillation to chart the winds effects across the environment and design accordingly.  Giving both a built outcome and, somehow it feels, more importantly, a physical manifestation of the design process, a piece of design in its own right.


The house is pretty interesting too...
