Ship Live Fish Outside Us

The ugliest house in the world

In the early nineties a friend of mine found himself in the hands of an architecture book that collected pictures of the ugliest houses in the world. From Singapore to New York from Stockholm to Bogota, the authors had scored a forest of horrors architectural detail is explained in the captions that acccompagnavano rich images. What attracted the most readers, however, was the picture of the cover of the book that brought a civilian house that had a familiar ring ...
Who told me this story has always lived in Rivarola Carasco and would never have thought to find the home of the nearby on the cover of the book. But how can we blame the authors of the paper: it is actually already very long and curious a tight structure, the roof - then - more reminiscent of beads wrapped in a mountain rather than a house in three steps from the sea. The profusion of anodized aluminum for the already sad for their verandas does not improve then the vision of the whole. Leaving aside any comment on Calderino to view what baffles most is the huge wall - until a few years ago and the picture of the book completely wrapped in asbestos - from which emerge two windows useless even for a dwarf with suicidal feelings. Ps

Unfortunately my friend has lost valuable publication, so if anyone still have a copy please contact us.
