    So sad.
    Just another mirror on society around us here.
    I will laugh only to hide sadness behind it.

    Maybe they just don’t like ‘different’.

    What a delightful piece of planning absurdity.

    Note how the ‘new sympathetic’ appears to be at least two times larger than any of the others, including the ‘new unsympathetic’. Looks like it’s also ok to be a conspicuous consumer.

    this is amazing.
    the interesting part to me is that the little sketches are, in essence, what they are trying to abide by. they are only interested in the initial image of home, rather than any actual reality of home.

    i am currently working on my thesis in architecture with the suburban house as my topic. do you mind if i use this image?

    Funny! I thought things like this can only take place here in Germany…

    interesting to note that the ‘new sympathetic’ – has windows of different proportions as well…

    Ha. That box looks uncannily similar to a recently completed DCM box in Carlton, Melbourne.

    Reminds me of the Marrickville “guide” I had to buy when I worked on a house there once. Reckon it was the same ‘artist’. That was a bit simpler.. a gable with a tick, and a flat roof with a big cross. Got the message.
