House of salt is a one semester project done at Royal Academy of the arts in the Hage now turning into a graduation project about the relation in between salt, erosion, time and architecture.

Why sharing House of Salt?

In the building industry, there is a huge resistance to thinking about the impermanence of structures. This is mainly related to our difficulty in accepting change that we cannot control. House of Salt, as a theoretical project, goes sharply against that, proposing that the audience accept chance, decay, and aging.
