Urbanization

Urbanization

Urbanization is a silent protest against the building of the four new houses on the other side of the street. The castles are made out of the heads of the piles for the foundation of the houses. Their shapes (a heptangular castle, nine battlements on another) and their number (five) point at the (unpair) house numbers on the other side of the road. The titel of the object refers to the tread to fill empty, flat Waterland with housing, for which the four new houses could be the forerunners.
