Deep in Southern California, this Joshua Tree project by Robert Stone inspires me. Rosa Muerta looks like it's too low to be a habitable structure but he manages to develope a aesthetic language that engages subtle physical and cultural context than the more universal and abstract approaches that dominate the scene - against the mainstream architecture. The Architect believed that modernism shows a pathologic misguidence and scars accrued over a century of cultural use and misuse.
