Thoreau

Walden House

 

For me, this is the greatest piece of architecture that was ever made. It was designed and built by Henry David Thoreau (You can google him). It's a simple small house that he built by himself and lived in for two years. Away from the bustle of the city, nestled by a lake. His motivation is what makes this such a great piece of architecture. It isn't all about four walls and a roof ... sometimes great architecture is a die hard motivation to stick it to "The Man" (you can google that too but I think Urban Dictionary not Merriam Webster). 💀
