ndltd-OhioLink-oai-etd.ohiolink.edu-ucin15536139643877072021-08-03T07:09:47Z The Incremental House Neidhard, Paul Architecture Incremental Behavioral incrementally built Houses are one of the most paradoxical structures; they are conceived as unchangeable but are often changed. This is done because houses are expected to meet our needs as homeowners and consumers. But houses are often underutilized, and their primary function as a utility for living has been altered drastically so that they have become status symbols, glorified storage units, and symbols of what we want to be.Through an understanding of the way houses are utilized and an analysis of prototypical houses, this thesis seeks to define a new way of living and building a house. It seeks to understand the way people live in and use their homes. In an effort to combat continuously changing demands and expectations for ever more and better in homes, it seeks to define an approach to building a house incrementally, through construction, changes in the way we live, or modification. This creates a home that becomes adaptable, accessible, and economically and socially responsible.This thesis proposes a strategy for building houses incrementally and develops two narratives for how this could unfold. These narratives are exercises in behavioral architecture; they are not the ideal home but they respond to the habits and pitfalls of their users. 2019-07-12 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1553613964387707 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1553613964387707 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
