- From Bi-nuclear to Incre-rental
- Abstract
- The bi-nuclear house – a house split into two distinct zones
to accommodate contrasting functions – is best known in
America for its association with often luxurious East Coast
custom homes from the post-war period. This essay describes
Popular Architecture’s appropriation of Philip Johnson’s
bi-nuclear Rockefeller Guest House for the design of rental
housing in the desert terrain of Marfa, Texas. A new
approach to incremental architecture has been developed out
of this appropriation of the historical typology.
