THE INDIVIDUAL IDEA *1
Graduation Project, Design Academy Eindhoven 2008

The dream
The houses that we create in our daydreams are
unexplainable. They emerge from positive memories
of every individuals past. To describe these
houses means to visit them.
Our parents house for example is not only a building
it is too a dream building. Each of its corners was a
resort for reveries. Where our dreams personalised
their character. For each of us exist a dream home,
a house of dream-memories. Lost in a shade of the
true past. This dream house is the crypt of the parents
home. The parents house is not only present in our
memories but also physically. It is built out of a group
of organic habitants. Even 20 years after moving out,
you will still be able to recognize the step in the stairs
that is a little higher, the weight of the one chair, the
feeling of the structured walls, the carpet tickling on
your naked feeds. You will recognize the sound of the
doors and you will remember the feeling of the lightest
handle in your hand. The house that we inhabited
affected our gestures. But surprisingly, when we come
back after a long time, we still remember them. The
parents house did imprint or idea of living.
