The societal expectations of what beauty should be have been derived from the capitalistic cis-het-European-abled men’s point of view. The idea of beauty has the tendency toward perfection, which is a result of the oppression against minority groups like women that dates back in history. However, this perception of beauty should evolve in today’s context as it promotes unnatural expectations. As well as in beauty, architecture has also become the victim of this standardized perception. The proposal for the studio project not only comments on the social, cultural, and political issues that revolve around beauty standards for beings but also hopes to oppose the presupposed aesthetics in architecture by rejecting the traditional aesthetic judgment of what beauty should be, both in its normative and architectural embodiment.
The Primitive Hut questions the alternative understanding of what beauty can be in the contemporary era through architectural expressions. The proposal wants to challenge this perception by exploring the quality of imperfections in architecture: unfinished, uneven surface, irregular arrangement, wrinkled face, etc. The Primitive Hut becomes a public kitchen with lounge spaces that uses imperfect food ingredients will become the program of the hut.
