while reading posts

on paternity fraud this eastern tale i read a couple of decades ago came to mind. paternity fraud is a strange other-sex social phenomena in which males raise other males children apparently because they are told the children are theirs. some of them seem quite upset upon finding otherwise. they could take inspiration from the zen monk in the story.

sun trap

a heavily insulated south facing box along a walking path to enjoy a break from inclement weather or for sitting in on winter days. something similar, though not as enclosed, can be found in the writings of gordon cullen, his townscape books.

the example in the photo comes from the orientation of buildings or planning for sunlight by william atkinson. the text of the book is available at archive.org. using the information in the book one can plan their dwellings and other buildings to be as light and sunny or dark as thit wants.
