DOES THE DRYING LAUNDRY IMPACT ON A BUILDING FACADE? Aug. 13, 2016

Travelling all over the world… but everywhere, noticing the same thing… Whatever the place, the eye is always caught by those so many different ways of thinking over the drying laundry question…

Revealing the imagination, revealing the weather conditions, revealing the very bases of each different culture which are expressing themselves, the solutions are:

-      Pragmatic and deeply anchored in Shanghaï, with heavy iron bars going through the sleeves and legs of the drying clothes,

-      Secured behind the grids of the very cautious bow-windows of Macau

-      Aerial like a lace garland that enriches the façade in Ibiza or Burano

-      Smart and matched coloured in Verbania as required by the neigbouring Lago di Como

-      Absolutely secret in Zurich

-      Precarious on the Ascona camping site…

Everywhere, the facade is impregnated with their pattern and be the architecture strong, Historical or just insignificant, would'nt the use and habit become stronger than the work of the architect?
