If smartness is embedded in the walls then your home becomes obsolete in five years time</p></em><br /><br /><p>Jane Wakefield talks with folks behind various efforts to lower the cost of homes including; WikiHouse, CityHome and the Brazilian tiny apartment construction firm, Vitacon.</p>

But to do this “architecture must be put into the hands of people themselves” and the architect possibly “guillotined”. [...]

Archinect's newest <strong>Showcase</strong> <a href="http://archinect.com/features/article/15879855/showcase-house-in-geumsan" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">features the House in Geumsan</a>. The project is located in South Korea and designed by Hyungnam Lim, Eunjoo Roh + studio_GAON. With the project the designers tried to highlight the element of Korean architecture that distinguishes it from Japanese or Chinese architecture. What is this distinguishing characteristic?</p>
<p>
"<strong>the fact that, in Korean architecture, space moves and flows; that is, a space in Korean architecture is not one frozen frame, but rather, different spaces that interact and change. The rooms of this house follow that flow with ease, and both light and wind leave traces of their presence.</strong>"</p>
