right that maybe nature has something to tell us to understand the house. you have to understand the man. the 66 year old is also an author. he's a closing designer, a composer and a father. you can't put this man in a box. he really doesn't like boxes. the box in nature doesn't exist, and that's because. the cube is the weaker structure in nature. and so he lives his life outside of the box in every way he learned gymnastics in college and eventually became the four time senior olympic all around champion. in his late forties, he found boxing. the first championship. i went to buy one eventually over a 10 year period. i won eight world championships he uses life experiences and a love of nature to design his buildings. so it makes sense that when his parents asked him to build them

a house, it too wouldn't be shaped like a box and in fact, it's hard to find a straight line in this four bedroom, three bath 2000 square foot home. take me through. okay so you notice that when you first entered the house, it's narrow and dark. that's purposely designed that way. you walk from dark to light to the center and a 33 ft ceiling. the house is also built like a boat. so the whole all these this whole floor is one piece. it's two stories, but you won't find stairs and it invites you up. the ramp brings you up and passed a huge plexi glass around window designed to explode light. all the windows here are round. okay, the round windows there round because in an earthquake, which were very prone to of stress and strains are taken tangentially around the frames, so there's no cracking. and while it's known as the fish house, it was actually inspired by something else. one is the most indestructible living thing on the planet. i looked that up,

it happens to be a little a little. it's called. it's an arthropod. it looks like a little bug. a little fat bug with eight legs. it's called the tartar grade. there's something about the way they're shaped. it must be the way they're shaped the way their geometries are put together. and so i mimicked that in the fish out the so called fish shells back in the nineties. lots of people didn't want his house. the planning review the city council, the neighbors screaming at each other stream and say, you know this. this is a travesty time. has been more gracious can you imagine from his history in 1991 or two? as you know, not in my backyard and now, 27 years later, it is now voted as the best design in old berkeley. is there part of you right now? that's going i told you so. oh, absolutely absolutely. claudine wong ktvu
