When conventional can no longer meet the needs of a rapidly changing world, you can jump ship or you can see the possibility hidden in plain sight. I have been considering the tenure of House alongside our capacity to dwell. I think that House is a convention that might no longer meet the needs of humanity in our rapidly changing world. Wait – humans have sought shelter since the beginning. In America we take House to mean x# bedrooms and bathrooms, the kitchen and living rooms, with a basement or attic for storage, and a garage. These expectations are being eroded in the rental market yet folks living there still aspire for the House. How do you jump ship? Self-built tiny houses, Airbnbs for nomads, and campervans are some who have jumped off the House ship. I choose to look deeply at what is here because I believe that our next move is in plain sight and I think it is tangled up in the essence of dwelling.
