Y'know, the following video isn't meant to be a direct follow-up to the above but it works very well as such.
That guy with the "laundromat"...the way he describes it, he basically opened it up as a shared community space, just letting people come in and hang out. It's that "third place", despite being technically a private residence.
For some reason, the stuff I post here seems to be mostly urban planning and the like, rather than strictly buildings.

TIL of Granny GlennMagusHarvey couch
Autocorrect, not even once.
(As it is probably more common than people admit in Mandela Effect stories, I guess I noticed and forgot about it.)
I accidentally stumbled upon another of these distressing toilet pictures.
Another "microapartment". Figured you might find it curious.
Also, you either eat outside, standing up, on bed or on the toilet.
Though there's a lot of vertical space wasted. If the upper level's basically just gonna have a bed, you could put more storage above and beneath it.
^ yeah, I can like imagine a drawer or a shelf fitted in that corner between the wall with the door and the ceiling, it's not like you need more place than is necessary to crawl into bed. You know what mate, I see you have what it takes to be a successful real estate developer, innit?
Another example of curious interior design.
Is this to make sure nobody steals your precious bone China when you're in the shower?

In terms of Reddit communities it's kind of like r/SocialistModernism, except French, imaginary, not socialist, and not full of folks who can't decide if they're in it ironically or for real.
which, at least for me, is genuine interest
Incidentally, as time passes folks are warming up to all that weird post-modern glass shizzle, too. By which I don't mean the high-rise glass skyscrapers, but this:
This specific building I heard about as an example of the weirdness that went on when communism fell and people realized they no longer have to build brutalist commieblocks, and some kinda got carried away.
Like, I had tangentially mentioned before what's the big development fad around here these days. Development companies buy a strip of land, usually post-agricultural, in suburban countryside, and build rows of identical houses. Basically the appeal is you can live in suburbia like in an American movie, except the houses are all basically identical, built in a certain po-mo-corporate style which I personally consider butt-ugly, and they're not really houses per se but more like two flats stacked one on the other. So it's like, your living place does not really differ by any sensible metric from your grandma's commieblock flat, including that you still have to live with a bunch of neighbors, but it's also far from any amenities and you have to drive everywhere. So, basically like American suburbia, but without the good parts.
Now, onto the story. One day, driving past a row of these, I suddenly recalled a Chick tract. What does a Chick tract have to do with it, you ask? Well, there was one depicting the End Times or whatnot where teh ebul gubmint made everyone live in rows of identical single houses.
I gotta admit that at least the po-mo-corporate style does not include house number painted on the roof, but it's fun to think that a comparatively inocuous product of free-market capitalism looks like how an American fundie imagined the worst sort of totalitarianism. Not to mention, he couldn't even imagine not living in suburbia.
In case any of you figured you're so fckin done with mathematical analysis and industrial society in general, here's a nice source for you.
