Art trip in Pori

Just like any respected bourgeoise, ingsoc had a holiday this summer. During this 3 day holiday ingsoc went to see performing arts in Pori. Among the artists were finnish Q-continuum and brasilian Marcelo D2, both of them brilliant groovy hip hop/soul -groups.

But the greatest art experience was not what we saw but where we slept.


















This forgotten masterpiece of modern architecture stands in the center of the Pori city. Alongside this 11-store beauty there are small houses, 1 store bus-station and some small flats. The building has strong influence from the best soviet union architecture and the builder has used some astounding materials, such as chicken net and corrugated iron. Actually - as you can see - the walls are wholly made of corrugated iron.














If this is not wau-architecture, then what is?
