The American house is flimsy, expediently conceived, and has always generously invited the introduction of technological devices that contend with existing rituals of the home. The architect here is in the profession of denial, where active suppression of machines and their infrastructural logic cools their reformative social roles. Rarely are machines invited into a room; they are most often concealed within delicate surfaces in which their evidence of flow burrows through, around, and across the framing of the house.
As the house becomes smarter, its symbolic and physical structure becomes increasingly undermined and destabilized. Today, architectural elements in the house speak through systems often more complex than the design of buildings themselves. A complex, wired world supports a nascent wireless condition in the exchange. By enabling passage into the screen and letting its contents inform the confines of the home, a more collective immersive relationship between the virtual and physical realm is established. As discrete technological devices have slowly eroded communal domestic spaces, there is an opportunity to recast the screen from an object for attentive work and isolated social interaction to an actor that enables collective contemplation and participation within the home.
