Nomadic Pneumatic

Imagining a concept of home rooted in time rather than space and not limited to one site or space but roaming through all, this thesis aims to explore human collective memory toward a semi-nomadic lifestyle and individual concept of home. A home that selflessly interacts with its surroundings, protecting its inhabitants, meeting their basic and psychological needs while blurring the illusion of separateness, allowing self-actualization. Everyone is connected to unity consciousness but modern society has created elements to block the connection. Drawing inspiration from my own experience and those of native peoples who moved across the land, my thesis focuses on a group of individuals adapting to a new way of being. A oneness lifestyle. Unearthing sacred geometry and simultaneously witnessing our origin story through energetic expressions of alchemic love. Visualizing a world where there is no harm done unto the other, awareness of our oneness omnipresent, a small band of nomads delve into the wilderness, only to be seen when trading their art for supplies. The design of their beloved airship home emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between all things as it becomes their companion & tool for regeneration. Destruction of forest debris, preservation of the natural ecosystem, and creation of compost and zero-waste art drives form. The constant but steady embrace of change that this nomadic architecture gives its inhabitants allows them to connect profoundly to the world around them.
