ABA to Guest Edit “One House Per Day”

ABA is a guest on Andrew Bruno’s One House Per Day series, using the platform to explore “Straight Skeletons,” an algorithm originally developed to resolve the convoluted roof geometries of “McMansion” subdivisions. By redirecting that logic, we generate volumetric landscapes from any foundation plan, producing forms that can be built with standard shop-fabricated trusses. Revisiting our 2009 research collaboration with Gehry Technologies, ABA presents seven distinct house plans and the enclosures they yield, demonstrating how triangular geometry can translate irregular outlines into clear, constructible architecture.
