Suturing of Dualities: An Addiction to Perfection

Abstract

In an ever-changing patriarchal society, the female is faced with the decision to stay home with her family and become a “center” for the house or to go out Into the work force and pursue her Interests and a career. As she strives to balance these two roles. In her addiction to perfection, we find that the domicile, as we once knew it, is destructing … making way for a new form that must be allowed to take shape. The basic “bare bones” of the house remain; yet, in their new form, they are allowed to take on different Identities which are necessary for this “new house.” This project investigates the role of the homemaker and the home-maker: the woman and the architect, i.e., the woman architect and the house in the “middle” of it all. As the project begins to define “middle” architectonically, the patriarchal bonds to this house are broken: releasing the female.
