Modern Architecture: Free in Freetown

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This place in “Freetown Christiana” looks like it would fit in Venice Beach, even though it is made out of stuff that can be found in the local dump – and there could have been a pun hiding in there if weren’t for the fact that stuff from the dump is probably not free.  I put it here because it reinforces a few ideas about art/architecture as follows:

• There is a style to it.
• It is not restricted by economic boundaries.
• It may be influenced by them though, i.e. the first Modern Architecture, was probably built by the rich.
• It follows function, as both of these places appear to be after the view.
• If there is a difference between art and architecture, then the image on the top is art and the one on the bottom is architecture.
• The house on the top wins the prize for sustainability.
• The world is the best museum there is.
• It can be a whole lot of fun and improve your life, no matter who or where you are.
