The Houses
Rudin House The concept behind the design is the idea of the icon of a house one would associate with in their childhood. The main material of the house is concrete which covers all the other elements to create an illusion that it is made purely of concrete.

Lecture reflection
The lecture introduced the three houses we can choose from and provided insight on how they may decay which is important as this is what we are exploring in our assessment. Russell also showed us examples of civilisations that have been abandoned such as Hashima Island and how buildings decay and nature slowly consumes them.
