ReActor Performance Architecture Full Width

How do we find <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/balance/">balance</a> in our homes? Artists <a href="http://www.alexschweder.com/">Alex Schweder</a> and <a href="http://www.wardshelley.com/">Ward Shelley</a> delved into that question quite literally with <a href="http://www.artomi.org/page.php?Alex-Schweder-Ward-Shelley-233">ReActor</a>, a <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/performance-architecture/">performance architecture </a>dwelling that tilts and spins with the wind. Then, they moved into the leaning <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/house/">house</a> for five days.
