Couch Forts

A fundemental childhood development: fun & shelter built from found domestic resources. Creating an enclosed atmosphere of play within your living room. Inspired by basic human instincts. An environment is assembled, an ambiance is composed, an alternate reality set inside the most oridinary of settings. By nature the fort is exclusive, private. The question is begged; who is this fort for, and what (or who) does it protect against? The values and sensibilities of the builder are somehow implied in the act of construction. This is not simply a physical shelter. *Note: the close cousin; "Blanket Fort" (below).
