I saw this article in the paper and was super intrigued by their house. I especially like it that small children are not allowed in the house, although it seems to me that kids would have the best time moving through the crazy doorways and rolling over the bumpy floors.
I think it's great that people disagree over the architects' claims of the house promoting health. There is something in there that is very interesting performatively.
