Yesterday was the 95th birthday of Justo Gallego, the man who’s been building this full sized Cathedral in his garden near Madrid, using only recycled/found materials. Highly bizzarre and incredible!

   He’s been building this, mostly on his own, for over 60 years!

   There are plenty of pictures and info about this incredible space, and how to help Justo on the onemancathedral.com website

   These are so wonderful. Someone just posted Cheval’s Palace Ideal the other day.

   There are so many of these bricoleur buildings around the world. Each is unique and yet there’s something so similar in all of them. I like them so much.

   Built by one dude here in Colorado from stone and boulders around the land. His kids have taken it up now but a very crazy building indeed

   Wow. Wow. I hope this is valued by the community because it’s beautiful.

   A earthquake happens recently and knocked it all down sadly.

    This is amazing. It looks better than some buildings designed by top architects.
