Sectionhouse is a public outdoor concrete sculpture, a fragment of a house that displays the ways in which daily life is enacted within architecture.  The project is located in the small Dutch rural town of and was designed by The Cloud Collective, a collaboration of young designers, architects, urban designers, artists and theorists, spread out all over Europe, working for different offices, schools and governments.

More on this project after the break.

Sectionhouse is a suggestion of architecture, to be temporarily inhabited and observed through it’s openings, carved away from the form in a combination of niches and reliefs.  These spaces are fictional recreations of the functions of a house.  They are transformed by their incompleteness and partial occupiability by passersby.  The spaces are fictional construct of the designs of The Cloud Collective and are an extension of the expectations of life, from its suggested rooms, its incomplete fireplace, and its shelves.

Sectionhouse is one of seven such public sculptures.  Not only is it incomplete in its own state, but it is also an extension of a larger idea of collaboration between other groups within The Cloud Collective.  The fabrication of the sculpture molds were also developed by different people on different days, infusing an additional level of various forces relying upon one another for a semblance of completion.
