Excessive building is a plague


This "fallen from the sky" house placed on the top of Viennese Museum of Modern Art is the work of sculptor Erwin Wurm. Wurm sees it as a statement against over-development: “There are hundreds of thousands of houses and they are spreading like a plague, like a cancer across our land"

I think the idea is that human beings should live in more space-efficient housing.  I.e. a vast arcology or other "megacity" concepts that leave more of the land unused and available for nature.
