Abstract

House, in the manner that we know it today is an obsolete object. We can say so since we understand that residential architecture is not in accordance with the aesthetic and symbolic code of its residents. While the individuals turn virtual,
rhizomatic and dynamic ever more, houses go follow the opposite way, being built as rough and closed properties. If cyberculture is taking on many of the tasks that were so far restricted to the architectural space, therefore this space in some manners turns to be unnecessary. Thus, art as a science of disturbance (un)knowledge, may revive these houses, blowing and knocking out it’s walls, it’s closed symbols and it’s static state, in order to replace them with computing devices ”“ systems of emerging information and communication technologies. In this thesis we study and suggest
poetic ways of hybridization of house as a material entity and cyberspace as virtual entity, with the symbiosis of building a cybrid space to live within the art. We denominate this cybrid building há_bit(at).
