Lexicon 1.6 Recycling Recycling

HOUSE:

Usually it means the object which provides the living space for human body. However I would like to argue it is a place which support and provide shelter for our sensations. For instance, in terms of olfactory, we can prevent smelly smell by closing window, in terms of sight, we can control light by louvers or lighting system. With modern technology, human senses extends greatly and the house need to be reconsidered how to provide shelter and support our extended sensations nowadays.

EXTEND:

Extend is not just simply making the range of something bigger or wider. It is about after the ranges of a set of objects gets bigger and wider, their ranges get overlapped at some points. In this way they contact each other and form a bigger network. Therefore extend reach the effect that 1+1>2. Extend is not about a single object, it is about the action of a system.
