erik of square one design + drafting emailed me today asking if anyone remembers a "scholastic" book from the 1970's described like this: "years ago in elementary school, i purchased a scholastic book that told the story of a family of blobs. i can not remember the name of the book or the title or author. the story line went like... the family lived in the projects of the big city + one day the evil wrecking crew + the machines they operated came + tore down the family's apartment. so the family went in search of a new home + found a quiet spot to build a new home. they built this home by pouring cement around the dad blob + letting it harden. dad blob would then squeeze out + set up for the next 'room' to be poured around him. (this has got to be mine + many others very first exposure to pre-fab architecture!) the family lived happily until one day in the distance the wrecking machines appeared once again. the family mounted a fierce opposition by creating their own catapult + cannon balls to fight off the wrecking machines."
