CONTINUATION:
The houses we dwell in, the cities surrounding our houses, even the clothes we wear - these are all shelters we erect against the elements. They are also the embodiment of intuitive rituals, individual and cultural responses to nature's rhythms. Life in the 21st century has separated us from those traditions - now, "Ritual House" reawakens us to our lost natural heritage.

Understanding how the elements (natural cycles of heat, light, wind, and rain) affect our lives is more vital than ever.
High-energy enclosed building systems have cut us off from nature, but we can re-connect to our landscapes and to humanity through buildings that honor ecological balance, personal choice, and creativity. By engaging nature in our designs, we can create shelters that are unique to their climate, their region, and their relationship to the sun.
