This is the Kind of Architecture Mr Mickey Likes!
By Mickey Boardman
Mr Mickey was reading one of his favorite blogs Towleroad.com and came upon this image of a gigantic building shaped like a kerosene lamp being built in Guzhen, the lighting capital of China. Okay, so it's a tiny bit literal but Mr Mickey is living for it and wishes we had more things like this in the old US of A! Wouldn't you drive out of your way to see something like the Lamp Tower? It's supposed to be done in 2008 in time for the Beijing Olympics. MM is not saying the Chinese are good on human rights, he's just saying they sometimes make cute buildings!!!

Well the Nazis had bad human rights issues as well but they sure did have GREAT uniforms not to mention creating the audobon ....rocket engines( those crazy german scientists) which helped create NASA ....I like Hunderwasser and Gaudi personally .....the entire world should look like that.
