duck
1. Where the architectural systems of space, structure, and program are submerged and distorted by an overall symbolic form. This kind of building-becoming-sculpture we call the duck in honor of the duck-shaped drive-in, “The Long Island Duckling”, illustrated in God’s Own Junkyard by Peter Blake.
decorated shed
2. Where systems of space and structure are directly at the service of program, and ornament is applied independently of them. This we call the decorated-shed.
