Moebius House studied by Amanda Jayne Stollery and Ami Meng Wang

Amanda and Ami found a lot of data and 3d models on the Moebius house. Without surprise there were a sketchup version and some weak power point presentation done by some 1st year student somewhere on the web. Out of this "junk" (as in Junkspace) they had to redraw their own version, including the garage (a set of published plans included the garage while some did not).
Here the emphasis was done on trajectory and movement within the house. It is possible to say that this house is the diagram of a relationship between 2 adults and their children. We appreciate the fact that this house is devoid of any romantic ideal on the couple. It is a clear surgical diagram, maybe a "psycho-diagram" of a family and their relationship, a game of mirrors and reflections, of surveillance and exhibitionism. In this matter it would be interesting to understand the domestic technology of the Moebius house as an apparatus for family regulation.

Charles Rice has studied the importance of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytical interior in his book, "the Emergence of the Interior". Here is a quote of his book:

"In his foreword to Jacques Donzelot's study The Policing of Families, Gilles Deleuze writes: " Having a room of one's own" is a desire, but also a control". With the historical emergence of the interior, desire and control appear as two sides of the same coin: desiring an interior means submitting to its mechanisms of control. In the late nineteenth century, desire was theorized psychoanalytically in relation to the controlling mechanism of the domestic interior. In this way, psychoanalysis can be seen to have developed as a technology of subjectification.
For Nikolas Rose:
‘Technologies of subjectification, then, are the machinations, the being assembled-together with particular intellectual and practical instruments, components, entities, and devices that produce certain ways of being human, territorialize, stratify, fix, organize, and render durable particular relations that humans may truthfully establish with themselves’.
 The interior can be considered as a practical instrument or machine working as part of the technology of subjectification that psychoanalysis enacted. Within this technology, the interior territorialized particular relations to the self which were accorded the status of truth. In other words, an explicit relation between the interior and interiority was enacted within this technology. Both were assembled together. As Rose suggests: 'all the effects of psychological interiority, together with a whole range of other capacities and relations, are constituted through the linkage of humans into other objects and practices, multiplicities of forces'.

We can expect Amanda and Ami to map the psychology of the Moebius house, all the intricacy of the furniture, the play of interior glazing and exterior cantilevers, the subtlety of balconies within interior corridors crossing a room.
