One House Per Day is an architectural experiment started by Andrew Bruno that emerges from the basic proposition: that creates a discourse through repetition. I try to bring the ethos of urban as an ingredient and let the creative process taps into our daily rhythms, our repeated patterns, and our performed behaviours. This architectural experiment could be considered to produce an engagement in attention to ritual activities, gestures, and other parts of our collective lives that may go otherwise unnoticed. By collecting 14 free designs on the same plot, I started by abandoning the drawing table and immersing into NYC to curate moments of life. Those obscure teeny-tiny items, like a bird's nest or the scaffolding, would be treated deliberately and become an ingredient of the design. 

Community gardens represent a radical history of the city, in which citizens reclaimed vacant or blighted land—first as transgressive occupations and eventually as sanctioned by the city, whereas Bathhouses is a top-down campaign. NYC boasted the "floating bath" in East River and commissioned Robert Moses to execute the vision to transform the bathhouse into the most remarkable public recreational facility, representing the forefront of design and technology. The juxtaposition of these two programmes composes my love letter to NYC.

The design represents a stream of consciousness but with no tongue in cheek. Fragmentation is never the tactic of the design. On the contrary, a trace forms along the daily iteration as the systematic design approach digests the discursivity in observation. These practices are tied in part to theories of everyday which look at how the accumulation of small moments may have more power than grand gestures.
