Seven question findings – Preliminary<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Would you like to spend time in a Flock House?<\/p>\n

a. 60 visitors to the Flock House Omaha Exhibit either examined the NYC Flock House on display and answered the questions at a table next to the Flock House, or entered the NYC Flock House. It was set up as a studio where they used the 7 questions<\/em> sheet, pens, drawing boards, drawing materials and model building materials. Fifty said they would like to spend time in a flock house. Most responded with a simple \u201cYes\u201d or \u201cYes!\u201d Some responded with \u201cSure,\u201d \u201cAbsolutely,\u201d \u201cMost likely,\u201d \u201cSounds like fun,\u201d and \u201cI would like to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Five responded \u201cNo.\u201d Their reasons were that the Flock House \u201clooks dirty,\u201d \u201clooks cold,\u201d (has) \u201cno door,\u201d (is) \u201cexposed,\u201d \u201cexhibitionistic,\u201d and \u201cwithout the pleasure of security.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three responded \u201cmaybe,\u201d one \u201cprobably,\u201d and one did not respond.<\/p>\n

Since 50 out of 60 wanted to spend time in a Flock House, I take this as strong evidence that Flock House is an idea with appeal. It is closely associated to other structures with strong appeal such as a hut, play house, cabin, tent, teepee, gypsy cart, covered wagon, tiny house, Etc. These structures resonate with expectations that are both adventuresome and atmospheric<\/p>\n

Some who said yes, also qualified their enthusiasm for spending the night. It might depend on \u201cweather conditions,\u201d it would \u00a0\u00a0 be \u201ctemporary\u201d only, “it would have to be set up inside, and security issues would need to be explored.\u201d<\/p>\n

b. \u00a0Forty visitors strongly desired to spend time in a Flock House. However, other a positive responses were filtered by the physical situation in which they envisioned inhabiting a Flock House. These filters divided into Nature filters, Conditions filters, and Atmosphere filters.<\/p>\n

Nature filters<\/em>: These linked to a natural form or to camping as an outdoor activity. Six natural forms are: \u201ca more natural setting\u201d \u201cby the lake,\u201d \u201cunder a huge tree,\u201d \u201cIn the woods,\u201d \u201cin a field,\u201d and \u201cmountains. Three camping filters are: \u201ccamping\u201d \u201csubstitute for a tent,\u201d and \u201ccamp out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conditions Filters<\/em> are qualifications about inhabiting a Flock House. They reflect the attempt to envision how it might be, and how it might fit into one\u2019s life. Five filters are: \u201cif diminished belongings, possible live here,\u201d \u201cbut not as a permanent habitat,\u201d \u201cI need to think about what I would do to pass the time, \u201cI\u2019d want at least a week. To gain the full experience,\u201d and \u201cI want one in my back yard!\u201d<\/p>\n

Atmosphere filters<\/em> were A place to accomplish and Context\/state of mind.<\/p>\n

A place to accomplish filters are: \u201cHaving something you want to do there,\u201d \u201cSee what it feels like,\u201d \u201cAn experience I have not had before,\u201d \u201cread a book,\u201d \u201cart making,\u201d and \u201ca home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0Context\/State of mind filters are: \u201cbeing alone,\u201d \u201cbeing with other artists,\u201d \u201cclear the mind,\u201d calm place of \u00a0 contemplation,\u201d and \u201cto lounge.\u201d<\/p>\n

c. Visitors who responded to this question sometimes added observations about the Flock House as a structure. Some contemplated how its features might impact their experience.<\/p>\n

As a structure: Observations are:\u00a0its \u201cexposure to weather,\u201d it \u201cwould glow at night,\u201d \u201cwould be cold, and \u201cseems a bit too open to the public.\u201d Also, it \u201csounds like fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0The adaptations identified by inhabitants included changes in life-style, personal response, hesitations, and making a final determination about staying in a Flock House.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Adaptations for inhabitants are that a Flock House \u201crequires less belongings for living.\u201d The inhabit will \u201cgo back to basics of life,\u201d and \u201cbe vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0One personal response to these adaptations is: it is \u201csomeplace to relax and unwind.\u201d Another is \u201cI think I would be more productive, more physical.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0Hesitations to commit to staying in the Flock House echo the filters expressed section \u201cb\u201d (above). \u201cWhat would I do there?\u201d I am so used to my bed and lifestyle.\u201d \u201cI need certain degree of comfort and would need to feel safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0Yet, others used this question to declare, definitively, their commitment to staying there, or the adaptations they required from the Flock House.<\/p>\n

I definitely would \u2013 homeless at this time anyhow. So commitment is no problem (smiley face)<\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t like at night, the sides being too exposed. I think I would use canvas fabric instead of as it was to stay at NYC (Flock House).<\/p>\n

I\u2019d love to take a house into a more natural setting. Such as the mountains and use it as a sort of tent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
