Signs, signs

A sign of the architect Piet Blom who designed the Cube Houses in Rotterdam. 
It sais : "Hey what is this? Is this a palace or is this a fair?"

He expresses the words people probably would say at first sight of his houses.

Another quote of him "Live = love, love = the roof of the city".

Have a look at hubby's blog sccollections for more pictures of the inside of the houses.

  4. I can't believe the buildings you find to record for us. This one is really amazing, and I'm wondering what it costs to live there. Very interesting post.

  5. Yep, still just as strange looking as when I saw them yesterday. Hey, I made out "wat is dit". I'm getting good with the language.

  7. Fascinating and different! It's funny (and speaks to his personality as well as talent) that he would say what's on that sign before other people could do it -- he knew it would take a certain kind of person to appreciate his talent and work. (I think I like them, but don't think I'd want to live there.)
