The other day I went to Glen Echo with My husband and one of our friends. At Glen Echo they have these buildings that look like little hobbit homes, or large cupcakes, and I fell in love with them- when I grow up I want to live in one, I think... That's what the top picture is of, that one is a pottery studio. During the rest of the year they grow grass on the roof!
This made me think about an architect I heard about, named Friedensreich Hundertwasser- I know that's a mouth full. The other two pictures are of his buildings. He built really neat apartment buildings for low income housing, and they were all built out of stock parts, and with the idea of being green-except years before anyone else thought of things like that. Most of the apartments had trees and such growing out of the rooms! He also made each apartment look different so that people living in them would take pride in where they lived...I think he had the right idea.
instead of our hotel lets have houses like these with underground tunnels connecting them!
