Chapter 02 — The Method of the White Box

Five Points, One Argument

Lift the house, free the plan

1

The pilotis carry the weight

Slender columns lift the volume off the ground, so the earth runs free beneath the slab.

2

Walls stop holding the roof

With load on the frame, the floor plan opens — partitions move wherever the day asks them to.

3

The window becomes a horizon

One continuous ribbon band wraps the facade, letting even light fall across the whole interior.

4

The roof gives the ground back

What the building takes from the site below it returns above, as a garden under open sky.
