• "prototype 180" is a work of art that "will make architecture performative." It is literally a ground-shifting exercise, in that it structurally involves the rotation, back to front, of a house and its surrounding land in the development of Sharpstown, a suburb of Houston, Texas. Following the rotation, it is to be retrofitted and rehabilitated to become an occupied structure that will be become an institute for the study of considered urbanism. In planning for 10 years, "prototype 180" is described as "reconsideration of monumentality that combines live performance, sculpture, architecture and technology."
