TRASHITECTURE 2

RESIDENCE OF A TRAMP

This is architecture at its Trashiest.  It also reflects the basic instict of man to provide shelter for himself.  This was occupied by a mentally handicapped man who scavenged trash cans, bins in a near by neighbourhood.

  

The most likely place for a scavenger  to find materials to build this type is the rubbish heap, scrap yard or landfill site.  Natural materials like sticks and stones, litter, junk, raw and recycled bottles, car tires, cardboard, broken bottles , blankets , jute bags, old clothes and scrap metal. Anything can act as a roof, window or door. It doesn’t matter which order. Whichever order, there is a structure which forms his space, his home. Interestingly, there is a car engine fan as a wind mill on the roof. 

The interior? I chose to respect the occupant’s privacy. But let your imagination run wild on what a night might be like in this dwelling.
