Cityscape

I have always been fascinated by homes that express some sort of obsession. Like a house in our old neighborhood in Chicago that was covered, every inch, in crosses and symbols or the people who devote income and hours of work to decorate for Christmas and now Halloween. My own inclination is just the opposite. In practice, I think I am more aligned with Adolf Loos, if I understood him correctly. I reserve all my self expression for the interior. However, I am drawn in a strong way to the Merzbau's and Hundertwasser's of the world.
