Suspended House

By Queuebot in Architecture on Feb 6, 2010 at 8:43 am

Italian designer and architect Duilio Forte designed and built his own house: a suspended folly, made in wood, that floats over the periphery of Milan. As other artists and architects before him, Forte overlaps life and creative work, generating a visionary and fascinating set of works, which are slowly and progressively morphing, adapting themselves to time and change. As Forte stated his house is “more similar to a bird’s nest than a cold concrete box.”

    Birds nests are typically filled with mites, lice, ticks, and who knows what else.

    The poor neighbors! What an eyesore.

    As a Forte stands on sticks

    So will the Winds of time break it!
