Happy Holidays to y’all !

For the occasion, I went lookin’ for snow pics on my external HDD and found this one. No one can say that Piet Blom’s architecture is rustic, but some snow shifts it in that direction ;-)

About the architecture: The `Kubuswoningen` (Cube houses), aka the `Blaakse Bos` (Blaak Forrest), have the physical appearance of a set of cubes flipped to one of their vertexes and placed on variable height pillars. It was designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom (1934-1999), who followed his structuralist agenda here, trying to create an integrated urban living space (`Living in an urban roof`' it was called) that both stimulates/facilitates the communal spirit of the dwellers of this urban forest and create a strong rhythmic architectural pattern in the process. In `A structuralist's embrace` here, there’s more about Dutch structuralism.

I'll be off for a while, CU later.

This is number 1581 of Minimalism / explicit graphism and 113 of Façades.

Seems quite late or perhaps it's super early?
