here's a house and here's a door


ПАЛМЕНГРАД - the people's housing
Domestic architecture in this city could make you weep. Acres of 'granny flats' cheap breeze block constructions to house those unwanted nanas take up the back blocks of even the most majestic Edwardian villas of the city ... but instead, wanderer, I present to you the people's architecture. The area I live in is named after the glorious socialist leader who pioneered housing for the people. Eschewing the rigours of conventional archtectural practice. The glorious leader visited Depression era schools and asked seven year olds to draw a house, and behold he built every one.
