what is a dacha?
is it a shack, a shed, a cottage, a secondary home, a plot of land, a garden, a way of life or a state of mind? these and many other questions will be explored though out what i am calling the dacha project. over the next few months, my aim is to develop a holistic understanding of the dacha within its eastern european context, using what tools i've gained as an interior architecture student. this body of research will then inform a design study as i interpret the form and functionality of the dacha as an alternative space in the current urban american context. the images below depict various dachas across the former soviet union (all found on google images).
