I wanted to take some time before responding again, see if time might have enhanced our visions. I think we both understand that Loos' essay is deeply dependent on the period it was written, and I understand how it was used to justify over-simplistic design choices that probably originated in economic decisions. So much of our world is based on economy, and architecture is the most expensive artistic practice. Schools are probably inclined and paid by the industry to teach minimalism, because that's that what works in the industry and is the cheapest, so is better for the schools. Never trust anyone, as they say in movies :-/ .pieymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13735495303324708713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4826039768556978809.post-31294690186923372592010-03-03T00:27:33.465+00:002010-03-03T00:27:33.465+00:00As a student of architecture, I agree 100% with yo...As a student of architecture, I agree 100% with you; I sometimes feel like an outsider on university because of my views; most of the people there are into modernism, and I`m not very interested in it, I like Gothicism, Baroque, Art Nouveau, organic forms, people like Gaudi, or organic modern architects like Toyo Hito, Zaha Hadid, Santiago Calatrava, all architects trat try to mimic nature forms as oposed to modernism and rationalism.<br />Have you read the famous essay "ornament & Crime" by modern austrian architect Adolf Loos? I`s the root of the modernist mentality, and I disagree with it, he talks about romanticism, ornament and organicism as "degenerate" (using that word to describe an artform definitely reminded me of something...) and inmoral, nonsensical, even when in university they sell the essay as "the total true of architecture", I read so much closemindedness, hatred and intolerance in it, the opposite of architecture as an art form and imagination, so square minded.<br />It was nice to read your blog, makes me feel like I`m not the only one that thinks that way!Cristian Saksidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09337357358742396821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4826039768556978809.post-89357697839776966092010-02-25T17:25:09.211+00:002010-02-25T17:25:09.211+00:00that s interestingthat s interestingsarahbaldous@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04567966602029891952noreply@blogger.com
