A Celebration of Play in the Landscape - Follies
Follies are structures, buildings, towers, underground chambers or astonishing creations that are ‘utterly useless’, in the sense of having no practical use. If they have a practical function, strictly speaking they are not follies. Some are classically elegant, others completely bizarre. They uphold uncompromising beauty and, on their own terms, perfection.
These wondrous constructions invite our imaginations to soar. They are sophisticated acts of defiance against a world of harsh reality and mindless speed. Follies provide a timeless oasis, a leisurely paradise, and the substance of a dream.
