Motel EHOS, sometimes known as Motel Bistrica or M Motel EHOS, sometimes known as Motel Bistrica or Motel Miljevina, photo with thanks to @socialist_hotels - The hotel’s complex history is intricately entwined with the Bosnian war with an excellent detailed description on @theabandonedspaces website
Palazzo di Giustizia di Matera, the local court ho Palazzo di Giustizia di Matera, the local court house, a serious chunk of Italian concrete. In the Matera area are the ‘sassi’ homes dug out of rock, which have been occupied, as homes, for thousands of years. Fans of James Bond will recognise Matera as one of the locations in No Time To Die. Photo with thanks to @carlo1978
Maison Fougère et Brauner (1969-74) by French arc Maison Fougère et Brauner (1969-74) by French architect Henri Mouette and the Hungarian-born ‘sculptor architect’ Pierre Székely 1969-1974. The duos distinctive style grabbed everyone’s attention with their Beg Meil holiday village. Székely, a member of André Bloc’s Espace Group, trained as an artist and printmaker in Hungary, and is as well known for his drawings as he is for his sculpting. He spoke of learning the art of stone carving whilst incarcerated as part of a forced labour battalion in Hungary during the war (you can find his testimony at USHMM*). He left the country in 1946 on the pretext of visiting Paris for a study trip in with his wife Vera, a successful artist in her own right, they did not returned for many years. Born Péter, now embracing his new French life, he became Pierre. His strongly held belief was that art should always be part of our living experience rather than something you see when you visit galleries and this home is an expression of that a it has a fantastic organic feel. In parallel to his architecture throughout his life he created art, such as playground sculptures using a technique where according to Art Public Montreal, he ‘shaped granite with flames’. In 1978 he was awarded the Grand Prize of the International Biennial of Street Arts, in recognition of his many sculptures installed in French cities, high schools and colleges. This house in France is frequently described as an arts centre but tbh can’t see evidence that it is operating as one at the moment.
