Project A: Proposal
Michael Aberman / Karl Zinsmaster
02.04.09


Creative Brief:
We will be placing a text installation on the roofline of the house. The letters will be cut out of plywood measuring roughly 4'x3' each. They will fastened to a plywood foot that can be anchored to the roof with minimal screws. Everything will be removeable with no visible effects on the appearance of the house.

The word PUSH will be facing MCAD with it's reverse visible to the street. The word PULL will face 26th with it's reverse showing to MCAD. This project communicates the condition of the homeless house. Through ambiguous, outdoor installation we are informing the audience of the tension placed on the house by its state of limbo.

To extend our message further into the community, we will digitally fabricate 100 tiny models of the the house. (Similar to Monopoly houses). These will be inscribed with the address to serve as a sort of invitation.
