The House of Questions
In The House of Questions, Obra presents a comparative exposition of its architectural project as an infinite progression of opposing dualities with undeterminable final outcome. The result is architecture in motion, propelled, in its trajectory by, the often at odds, necessities of constantly reinventing the architectural program and architecture as a fundamental tool for understanding a world of our own creation.
