Make holes in the forested walls and live

This residence is built on land between two bifurcated roads with gentle and steep uphill slopes. The shape of the site is elongated and irregular. We imagined a scene in which multiple walls randomly comes up and disappeared on this three-dimensionally twisted land, and then disappeared and comes up. At a certain moment, the flock of walls was commanded to stop, and we thought of cutting it out, leaving the middle part, and living in the remaining of the lined up walls. In the place surrounded by the walls, it runs in the north-south direction, and a line up of walls in the east-west direction divides the space, and it is protected from the line of sight from the road. We made holes so that you could move between the separated spaces, and when we connected them in places, we found a moving spaces and various dents. We hang the roof along the slope of the walls, you can see that the spaces like a cave is connected. We did not dare to cover the space in the middle, but set it as a small space that guides light and wind. That is how to get ready to start living with the walls as a clue. Residents will be think and create of how to live from here.
