Abstract
The house is first conceived in sections; The body's movements and needs describe walls, plinths and apertures. The geometry gives the plinths, walls and apertures order. When the body-geometry moves Front, Back, Right, Left, Up and Down move with it. The body is transient and therefore the sections are transient too.
