The needs of everyday life and therefore our needs for shelter are constantly changing. The ephemeral and mobile, take the place of the permanent and stable. An attempt is being made to redefine the concept of dwelling based on current data. Today's dweller needs small, flexible shells to accommodate his needs during the day.

We noticed that contemporary architecture tends to create structures with many furniture features,  in terms of scale and functions, creating categories that are not easily classifiable. The relationship between furniture and architecture, therefore, is in a process of redefinition. In the present research thesis we are called to study this area-in-between, the scale between furniture and architecture. Creating the assumption of "habitable furniture"we raise questions such as what does it mean to dwell, where the furniture comes from, how they help us to inhabit the space as well as questions regarding the boundaries of furniture and architecture.

By first analyzing the individual elements of our assumption, the concept of furniture and dwelling, we define a spectrum between the two. With the help of the vocabulary we have built with concepts that have been studied, we present and analyze examples concerning the resulting hybrids, those of super-furniture and micro-architecture.
