The big bigger biggest TIME WASTER in the world!!!

 

 
Reminds me of Gaudi - is it? I originally thought it was just styled in that way. Now I need to research it, more time away from the world of biological psychology. Actually I am about to embark on counting vesicles. Quite hit and miss and boring. As yet I haven't devised a way or discovered if there is a way of marking the microsope. I will ask the tutor. Sensible solution!!
In the meantime - Nautilus House, Mexico. Apparently a couple and their young children wanted something very different from their conventional house. And they wanted it to be topographical with the location. Good idea - they were surrounded by wooded land, mountains and other houses! hmmm?? It is designed like a shell. I can't see who the designer is/was ....
The company is called Senosiain Arquitectos: Mexico, D.F.


The Crooked House, Poland (Sopot) or
The Krzywy Domek


It was designed by Szotyńscy & Zaleski who were inspired by the fairytale illustrations and drawings of Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg
Sadly for me - don't know why but being a part of a shopping centre seems wasteful of the fairytale element. But why not? At least it makes shopping magical for a moment.

Jan Marcin Szancer - Polish illustrator.
   

 

Per Dahlberg - a Swedish painter living in Sopot. He seems to have inspired many fantastical shaped buildings along with Jan.

 

  In this house resided Swedish artist Per Dahlberg and Polish illustrator Marcin Szenser (deceased 1973)
  
So far I have not discovered any of his art work.


Ah ha ...





Strange little creature. These are seasonal of course! I wonder what he is?
