Minimum Dwelling?

“How can dwelling that is one of the fundamental architectural design issues can be changed in terms of the climate change? I am, I dwell, I build; do you remember? The task is to design a dwelling unit that can sustain human life with the minimum in contemporary means, a minimum dwelling. The dwelling will provide subsistence in terms of communication, energy, food, and water. You will select a specific and extreme climatic condition to dwell, or the dwelling will be adaptable to any climatic condition. The definition of an existence in minimum includes social structures, whether that is a single, familial or communal being. You will define a social structure and that will ascertain the footprint and the program of the dwelling as well as the type of cluster it is within. Start immediately by designating the essential definitions (climatic conditions, social structure) according to the ecological strategy that you have defined as a group. This is an assignment that will be done individually by each student. However, you may choose to make different units of the same idea of a dwelling; such as making the same design approaches in different climates or making certain units of a larger structure.”
