Candombe (carnaval)

If you go to Uruguay, you must see Casapueblo! It sits atop a tranquil cliff (Punta Ballena) outside Punta del Este, Uruguay. The house/ studio/ hotel was designed by Uruguayan artist Carlos Páez Vilaró, who avoided straight lines and right angles.

 

He is not an architect, but was inspired by the "hornero" (oven-bird) and by the farmer, who builds his home with adobe.
