I love the lines of the teeny homes and how they use space. I do enjoy having more space for myself personally and an lucky to be able to that, but as art I really enjoyed looking at these, especially the concrete ones.

Though one could not possibly tell from my house now, I love Utilitarianism and the Bauhaus.

I love this dog house!

Today I love this, tomorrow, it may be Gothic.

Big fan of cathedrals and visited a few great ones over in Germany. I prefer high Gothic cathedrals next to Romanesque. What I love is wandering around the cathedrals trying to find builder's marks carved into the pillers, looking at built in guild symbols etc. I remember the first time I saw the cathedral in Köln, though. One of the most awe inspiring moments of my life. I was coming out of the u-bahn with a group of other Canadians. Suddenly we look up...and up...and up. It really was reaching for the heavens. Probably the most spectacular building I've ever set eyes on.

Köln

Freiburg interior

Aachen/Aix-la-Chapelle interior

And castles:

Neuschwanstein - Was living in Schwangau and Füssen for a little bit and so only a short distance away from the castle. Really beautiful in spring/winter. Though, honestly, I think the mountains are far more spectacular.

I love some of the modular prefab designs and energy wise they make sense too. I just think the price tags on them are way out of line.

you can take the oddest things, oldest structures, etc and turn them into art with the right attention to detail and landscaping.

the straw bale house that lady built is amazing. I think I might try building a small structure out here close to the house and practice.

True, when I was in NYC last week they had taken dumpsters and made pools out of them at Grand Central Station.

Great use of what is around in an urban setting!

I really enjoy kit houses from early to mid 20th century in the US.

This one was manufactured by Alladin in 1953.

This one is Sears between 1908 and 1940

This one also from Sears in the 1920's looks like Lincoln Logs!
