Architecture of Dogs
This section is about not kennels but architecture designed for dogs. We humans are animals that have striven to recreate the external environment to our own advantage. Whether functions or environments, we've made them from a human-centered perspective. Some people even believe that being friendly to humans is equivalent to being friendly to nature.
In fact, even dogs were made by humans. Wolves are dogs' ancestors. Pocket Chihuahuas, Dachshunds, Toy Poodles, and Afghan Hounds: all breeds came into existence through crossbreeding, controlled by humans. Dogs would be perplexed if they were told to return to the wilderness. Dogs are destined to coexist with humans. So we are seriously considering how to make spaces and furniture to suit this coexistence.
The details of this plan begin with asking leading architects to design buildings for dogs based on detailed information about size and behavioral idiosyncrasies of the breed. The results will be shared on our website. The user will be able to access CG, drawings and animation showing how to fabricate the structure. We are thinking of selling full-size drawings of the proposed architecture, with the premise that users will build them. So the architecture should be designed simply for DIY construction.
We plan to present this project as an exhibition in Europe in 2012.
