UN Studio's Mobius house is an exploration of the relationship between space and time through the use of mathemetics. It's structural form is based on the Mobius Strip, a single continuous surface which when followed, it is possible to reach any other point on the surface without ever crossing an edge. The lifestyle diagram (above) shows the operation of the ocupants' activities which Tucker & Thonissen(n.d, p.3) describe as, "a continual cycle that is never truly stationary such that they pass each other only at certain times in certain places".
