Via unconsumption: The Houston artistic team of Dan Havel and Dean Ruck is at it again. (Previous mentions here and here.) Thanks to their handiwork, another old bungalow slated for demolition is being transformed into architectural artwork. The public art project, which Havel and Ruck designed to function as a stage, is a temporary centerpiece in a new pocket park in Houston’s Fifth Ward, a neighborhood developed in the late 1800s. The Fifth Ward went into decline in the 1970s; in recent years, the area’s been undergoing redevelopment and revitalization. [Side note: Former residents include Congresswoman Barbara Jordan and musician Arnett Cobb.] Photo above via Fifth Ward Jam - Houston Arts Alliance.  Pre-deconstruction photo below (by Havel Ruck Projects) via Swamplot.com.  For additional photos and information, see this Swamplot post.  Houston!
