-excerpt from www.morphopedia.com-
"The FLOAT House is a new kind of house: a house that can sustain its own water and power needs; a house that can survive the floodwaters generated by a storm the size of Hurricane Katrina; and perhaps most importantly, a house that can be manufactured cheaply enough to function as low-income housing."
I collaborated with the architectural designers of the house, conceiving and designing a graphical composition influenced by the cultural, historical and environmental heritage of New Orleans. Please see www.morphosis.com and http://morphopedia.com/projects/float-house for a detailed description of the project and array of visual explanations.
