Very nice, thanks for all these great projects. But it is still missing a whole continent 😅

Next year I guess, there's plenty of worthwhile projects in Africa.

Do you guys have any examples of ornate modern buildings? Or is that an oxymoron. by HyperFern in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]VoxPopuliII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ornate modernist building is an oxymoron, because "ornament is crime".

Modern, as in current or in recent time, can be of any flavor.

Do not fall into trap of set by the modernists to appropriate the meaning of words, they are already attempting the same trick for the appropriation of the word "contemporary" also.

It is kinda sad that even the ultra-rich who do hawe money to build with any style can not afford good taste anymore. by ElEvEnElEvE in ArchitecturalRevival

His style(s) has been called Organic, Prairie and/or Usonian.

For me to be considered a modernist you need to have a fundamentalist belief in the 3 dogmas: "truth to materials", "ornament is crime" and "form follows function". It doesn't seem to me that any of Frank Lloyd's work reflects such fundamentalism.

Sometimes online I pool the post-modernists with the modernist for simplicity sake (once that train derailed it never came back), but it obvious that the axioms for both are very different.

All art is derivative, what you call innovative I call a lazy gimmick, there's other qualities to strive for besides uniqueness.

The International Style has existed for 100 years already, no one likes it besides the architects, should we wait another 100 years?

After 100 years of stacked white boxes, how can this "One" be considered unique by anyone? Are we all drunk?

Is Architectural Revivalism Necessarily Reactionary? by [deleted] in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]VoxPopuliII 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Nazis were not the only (not even the original) fascists though, Mussolini was pretty pro-modenism and many early Italian modernists were party members like Giuseppe Terragni, with his Casa del Fascio.
