Man creates his environs from available nearby materials. Unlike the clay hut, or the igloo made of ice carved into blocks, in a post-industrial society, the materials which have become available are now sourced from the surplus produced by consumptions own waste. These refuse materials, the symbol of mass-consumption, non-organic and non-degradable, yet sparkling and alienated. This is a suggestion for a temporary structure, a mirage, to which there is no entry.
