The project has evolved a lot since we started talking about it a month ago. We started building basic skeleton of the “home”. The property icons (the house and the hotel) from the board game of Monopoly are our reference. The height of the walls of the ‘home’ is equal to the height of the fence surrounding the site. The long side of the “home” is equal in measurement to the distance between the two poles of the fence.

On one of our material-collection trip in the neighborhood, we found big pieces of canvas on th street that someone has discarded. It could act as the “home”face.

End of the day - a happy Didier. The basic structure is finished
It felt good to reach our goal at the end of the day.
