024. Objet trouvé

This is a 1920s house from north of Holland. A functional form is involving imagination. Is this enough or shall we look for less definition and more abstraction? Architectural tasks need a lot of consideration not only on the compositional level but also on the dialectics of every architectural element. How building touches the ground, how building articulates its entrance, what do the windows point at. - let's not take all these things for granted. Nobody will ever care to distinguish architecture from mere building engineering if not us.
