Idealna palata u Francuskoj

Ferdinand Cheval (rođen 1836 u Francuskoj, umro 1924.) je bio francuski poštar koji je proveo trideset i tri godine svoga života gradeći Le Palais ideala ( "Idealnu Palatu") u Hauterives-u. Palata se smatra izvanrednim primerom naivne umetnosti u arhitekturi.Cheval je počeo zgradu u aprilu 1879. On je tvrdio da se spotakao o kamen i bio je inspirisan njegovim oblikom. Vratio se na isto mesto sledećeg dana i počeo sakupljati kamenje.Za sledećih 33 godine, tokom svoje svakodnevne poštanske rute, Cheval donosi kamenje iz njegovih krugova isporuke i kod kuće ih koristi za izgradnju svoje Idealne Palate. Prvo je nosio kamenje u džepu, a zatim na kraju u kolicima s jednim točkom. On je često radio noću, uz svetlost naftne svetiljke.Cheval je proveo prve dve decenije u izgradnji spoljašnjih zidova. Palata je mešavina različitih stilova inspirisana mnogo čim od Biblije do Hindu mitologije. Cheval je povezivao kamenje zajedno s krečom, malterom i cementom.Ferdinand Cheval (born 1836 in France; died 1924) was a French postman who spent thirty-three years of his life building Le Palais idéal (the "Ideal Palace") in Hauterives. The Palace is regarded as an extraordinary example of naïve art architecture.Cheval began the building in April 1879. He claimed that he had tripped on a stone and was inspired by its shape. He returned to the same spot the next day and started collecting stones.For the next 33 years, during his daily mail route, Cheval carried stones from his delivery rounds and at home used them to build his Palais idéal, the Ideal Palace. First he carried the stones in his pockets, then a basket and eventually a wheelbarrow. He often worked at night, by the light of an oil lamp.Cheval spent the first two decades building the outer walls. The Palace is a mix of different styles with inspirations from the Bible to Hindu mythology. Cheval bound the stones together with lime, mortar and cement.
