Google me a house
Dec. 19th, 2004 07:11 amSometimes I image google for my digital fantasy house. A house that I could happily live in, a place that expresses something about me and my aesthetic values. Here's the one I've chosen, Atelier Bow Wow's Kawanishi camping cottage in Niigata (plus some linked alternatives). Paste or link me the house that best expresses your aesthetic in the comments, please.

House 4
House 5
House 6
House 7
House 8
House 9
House 10
I should add that if I were cutting and pasting I'd probably prefer to put all the rural houses (or the house on another planet) in the middle of a dense Asian city (and on Earth).

Date: 2004-12-19 07:14 am (UTC)This is my favorite house at the moment/for the last four years(H&deM House in Leymen). I apologize for the small images. I enjoy the fact that it operates both semiotically, as the reification of the cartoon imge of a house, and materially. Additionally, I like its relationship to the landscape (i.e. none).
Second runner up would have to be Koolhaas's Villa Dall'Ava, which is a total tropic play on both Mies and Corb. And who doesn't want a rooftop swimming pool over looking Paris?
