A Place to Dream

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The houses we grow up in are significant because they are our place to dream, contemplate, and imagine. There are many places in our childhood home to dream but there is often a favorite spot. The window that led to a light well in my grandparents' house was one of mine. This project is an exploration into dream space and the characteristics of that space. I explore the dream space through drawings, collages and models. The result of this investigation is a series of row houses located in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Washington, D.C.
