With the 048per_ project in Auckland, the relationship between car and house is omnipresent. In the inner city Auckland suburbs, houses built at the turn of the 19th century preceded the arrival (and thus accommodation) of the automobile. Today houses have been re-parked: jacked up, pushed back and shoved sideways to house off-road in-situ cars. The logical extension of this development (gasoline consumption v urban density) is the total subsumption of the car into the house.
