My Mother's Cabin: A Design in Memory

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Located in rural Mount Laurel, Virgina, on the tobacco farm my mother was raised, this house grew from the use of memories as a design tool: my childhood memories not to mimic, rebuild, or remake, but to create new space for new memories. To create a space where, one day, my son could retreat and remember his childhood.
