Architect twitter account @robyniko known as 'the "schtick" haver' has started a thread where worlds collide locating iconic modernist architecture in Thomas Kinkade landscapes. Whether or not this should have ever been done is up for debate. These mashups may just be so terrible you can't look away...

This. This is what the internet is for.

Tragically, this reminds me of the Corbusian-esque Miller House by Jose Oubrerie, originally built in a bucolic many-acre field outside the city, now surrounded by people who likely have Painter Of Light prints in their homes (yes, that sounds horribly elite. I admit it.).
That's the Oubrerie stranded between the cul-de-sac and loop. <sigh>

But I didn't DO anything. I just mentioned it on twitter, @robyniko aka Thomas Kahn-kade and now the "schtick"-haver did all the work!

These are fantastic. I would love to see an entire website, book or magazine devoted to painterly modernist drawings. A little dumb populism goes a long way! (And for current architecture too — which is never represented this way)
I just hope the person behind this doesn’t start writing political articles for Curbed about how much he really hates forests or something
