Hemeroscopium House: A Prefab Gone Awesomely Wild

As we can always see in all prefab plans, it always inspired by postmodernism or futurist architecture. But this Hemeroscopium, it's not just inspired, it also forces off the boundaries.

Created and assembled by Ensamble Studios, it built in seven days from seven concrete structures including 3 concrete I-beams, 2 concrete parts of pool canal and 2 steel girders. Though it took almost a year to engineer the structures.

What is hemeroscopium anyway?

Hemeroscopium is for the Greek the place where the sun sets, an allusion to a place that exists only in our mind, in our senses. It is constantly moving and mutable, but is nonetheless real. It is enclosed, delimited and suggested by the horizon, though it is defined by light and only takes place in a precise moment of time.

See? A place that exists only in our mind, constantly mutable, yet real.
In a whole and in a plain english, we can simply say – it's an alienated captivating place.
