Pruned: Ghost Houses

(From our repository of decorative whatnots and filler knickknackeries, this photogenic ghostly imprint of aborted architecture. Some refer to them as medianeras, others as the unconscious art of demolition. Our own fancy phraseology is urban graffiti of absence. The photograph above by Marcus Buck comes from his photo series called Restarchitektur, viewable via “Freie Arbeiten” on his flash website. With thanks to the artist for the photo.)

A similar sighting in Washington, DC:

No new buildings going up there anytime soon - the space has been turned into a parking lot for Howard U.
