Default Smurf village on the Castlegate?
Does anyone know why lots of little wooden houses have appeared on the Castlegate?

HOUSE BUILDING

Date: Wednesday 15th June - Friday 24th June | Venue: The Green
St. Nicholas Street, Castlegate, Provost Skene Houes, Marischal College
Artist: Professor Jonathan Woolf

Click here to link to webcams

The project invites reflection on the nature of the city and how we choose to make it. The installation of miniature houses throughout the city refers back to a known building type, the ‘bothy’, a traditional Scottish vernacular small dwelling. It is dignified, humble and strong, representing our nostalgic longing to live independently, surrounded in nature. The layout, however, mimics the march of suburban development that has blurred the relationship between city and countryside at the same time creating a whole new set of spatial and cultural conditions. Analogous to suburban development, these baby houses can turn up in all sorts of places.

That would be the opposite of Big Brother...instead of the people going into the house, the houses go out into the people.
