House of swallows is a project in London, South Kensington. A place for Travellers who haven't been accomodated in our urban lifestyle. Their life revolves around performances. The design of the house has been developed with the idea of puppetry as craft. The craft gradually creates  a character for the house  which encompasses travellers' lifestyle.

In Memory of Alvin Boyarsky
