High density in Faro (4) - a photo on Flickriver

Europe, Portugal, Algarve, Faro, Centre, High rise (slightly cut)

Elementary to high-density building construction is of course the stacking of houses - the Romans started doing it in the first century with their 'Insulea' (in Ostia Antica there are still some ruined examples of them).

Shown here is the multi-story modernist apartment building from a few posts ago, zoomed in on its yellow complex right apart. It is from the end of the 20th with an ornamented/articulated front facade serving two purposes - decoration and shading of the sun (brise soleil - there seems to be a kinda Le Corbusean touch to be enjoyed here).

During editing, the pic, I remembered the cover of Perrow’s Complex Organizations. After a long time, the book is still in print, though the cover was changed many times, exploring different visual metaphors of organizational structure & complexity.

High density in Faro (1) is here. High density in Faro (2) is here. High density in Faro (3) is here.

This is number 27 of the Faro album & 1385 of Minialism / explicit Graphism.
