Description: "Mehrdad Hadighi's new book IIAW of WAII superimposes modern building methods onto two historically and culturally distinct houses. Drawing on Freud's essay "The Uncanny," Mehrdad Hadighi uses the metaphor of a hinge as he explores and illustrates the themes of closure and openness through internal design re-formation to the Woodford and Loud structures. By altering the constructive underpinnings of each, hinge construction results in oscillating structures that provide open dynamic and moving systems, while maintaining their separation and tension." --From publisher's website.
