What do all these building have in common? It would seem at first that there is not much. Two of them are vast public works that cost millions and millions of dollars to make and two of them are simple buildings that will never be viewed outside of a small community. One commonality that can be seen even from the pictures though is that they are functional pieces of architecture that also have a sculptural aesthetic.  What does sculptural architecture offer to a community that goes beyond the functionality of the structure?  Perhaps it is simply the sense of wonder and excitement. Perhaps it is a pride in who we are what we can dream up and accomplish. In some cases it connects us to the world around us that we may or may not know about. The Chicken Shack Village works in the spirit of sculptural architecture to give a more rich, textured, and audible voice to the concept and culture of raising hens in an urban environment.
