Did you know a French postman Ferdinand Cheval spent 33 years picking up stones while delivering mail and not just any stones but a special type of hardened sandstone molded by time and water into wondrous shapes! With these stones, he built the fantastical Le Palais Idéal, in Hauterives. The building is considered a prime example of naïve art, and in 1969 was designated a cultural landmark. #LePalaisIdéal #Hauterives Guneet Singh Khurana Archistudent Portal A'​ Design Award and Competition #frencharchitect #FerdinandCheval #postman #sandstone #sandstonebuilding #culturallandmark #historicbuilding #Archifacts #dailyfacts #architecturalfacts #Dailynews #olympics #art #didyouknow #FactsArchitecture #Archistudent #ArchistudentPortal #KnowledgeSharing #Archified #Archicommunity #archdaily #ArchiKaum #architectonic #architecturebooks #archinfo #architectural
