De Verfdoos, Amsterdam by architect Allert Warners (1956)

A modernist apartment block in Amsterdam's Slotermeer district, designed by Allert Warners as experimental social housing with window panels in primary hues "to foster visual vibrancy and community." The building design, called doorzonwoningen, was open to the public for viewing upon its completion.

This seems such a missed opportunity if they don’t take it. Would be nice too if the neighbours avoided a lapse into outright fascism.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?
