Erlitou II House

This was a house I designed while still in high school. It was on a strange lot with two earthquake viances that created an odd, small footprint on the side of a steep hill. My approach was to design a partially underground house from gunite and steel (like an upside down swimming pool), glaze the interior walls, and fire the entire house from the inside like pottery. This is a technique developed in the Middle East by an architect whose name I can no longer remember nor find.
