Cube house
Cube houses (Dutch: Kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest.
Helmond
Three test versions were first constructed in 1974, and in 1977 18 houses were constructed in Helmond. The many houses required for a woonwoud (English: living woods) were never realized. The houses in Rotterdam were designed in 1977 in a plan of 55, of which 39 were built. The cube houses in Helmond surrounded a theater, Theater 't Speelhuis, which was destroyed by a large fire on 29 December 2011.
Rotterdam
The houses in Rotterdam are located on Overblaak Street, right above the Blaak Subway Station. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.

La Cantaleta
by: CabasY ahora que vas hacer
que para donde vas
que si tomas mas
con quien has salido,
Que porque no llegue
que llegue tarde ayer
que ya no se me ve
si no es amanecido,
Con ese repicar
me voy a trabajar
y todo es un suplicio
que voy a contestar si nadie puede hablar con semejante ruido,
que voy a contestar si nadie puede hablar con semejante ruido, RUIDO!
Y ahora que vas hacer
que para donde vas
que si tomas mas

Que porque no llegue

que ya no se me ve
si no es amanecido,
Con ese repicar
me voy a trabajar
y todo es un suplicio
que voy a contestar si nadie puede hablar con semejante ruido,
