The House that Spawned a Million Mini-Malls

This is Dickie House, by Rob Krier (1976)

When Rob designed this house,
it was all about Golden Sections and sophisticated references 

Rob is of course the older brother of Leon Krier 

both super influential post-modern neo-traditionalists

little did they know that this would end up being 

the blueprint for every mini-mall and rite-aid store 

in Whateverville

and the signature porch would be home to every passing homeless.

Intriguingly the perfect cube house has a room for a household spirit

which is maybe an entity from another time?

that lives amongst the lines of the suddenly super interesting line drawings
