Love the title.
-Rrose Sélavy
I really never understood these things. Were they meant to demonstrate that architects have profoundly impoverished imaginations absent the constraints of utility? Good riddance.
Anonymous - when visited you will notice the publics engagement with their company, the city and the folly with the armature for the engagement being these pieces. I felt they were very successful.
Impoverished imaginations? Did you see your city and its surroundings differently because of these?
Actually that was the problem. I - and many others - didn't see anything of my city in these structures - only the fevered agendas of a couple of Europhile academics.
