A Shelter in El Salvador

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

A house composed of two bedrooms and two bathrooms sits in a landscape of towering pine trees, lush orange groves, and tall grasses. Approaching from the west, a stepped lava tock garden wall protects the terraces of gravel and grass that bound and hold the concrete walls of the house. Within these wall an architectural game of turning, pushing, pulling, and shifting begging to play out; found in the shadows of a corner, in the depths of a break, in the repetition of a joint.
