Building with Permanence: Sketches 1

Long over due: 
Here are the first sketches relating to the concepts expressed in my last post. 
The core or "soul" of a house. A hearth, and its structure.
Set in a house formed by the application of standardized panels (interlocking SIP)
When overlaid the potential for an evolution or destruction of the form can occur without the removal of the core or "soul" of the home.

  1. One would hope that in this design that:
    -the hearth and structure are not truly the components of permanence that you wish to keep; those are not architectural pieces but instead are building components; is there not a way that spaces could be retained and incorporated into this "hearth/structure" component so that there is more than structure and a fire pit?
    -there is a sensitivity to the local/indigenous methods/materials; this could be more strategic but the issue is that the project runs the risk of coming across as suburban homes or industrial design which is even worse as it is a universal design that could be applied anywhere in the world; you need to draw upon the site
