Building Habits: Learning from the Everyday 2025
A design studio for second year students. The paper asked, how can we harness the ‘life’ of the everyday to re-animate a building at risk of becoming obsolete?

We considered how the routines of daily life – its processes and material systems – might provide a model for habits of building defined by the incremental adaptation of the existing. Students explored their ideas through the gradual occupation using timber of a small, semi-neglected brick building in Eden Terrace, Auckland.
