@HeimannAndrew I think architects should use what works best for them because I believe the best quality of work is created when you can use your own methods
“There are formal strategies possible in architecture which transform its fundamental condition; such transformations were effected in other arts, but not architecture.” Phillip Johnson #architecturalhistory
“Abstraction, atonality, and atemporality, however, are merely
stylistic manifestations of modernism, not its essential nature.” Peter Eisenman #architecturalhistory
“Not only can functionalism indeed be recognized as a species of positivism,
but like positivism, it now can be seen to issue from within the terms of an idealist view of reality.” Peter Eisenman #architecturehistory
Eisenman states this about modernism, “work on the language itself.... It fundamentally changed
the relationship between man and object away from an object whose primary purpose was to speak about man to one which was concerned with its own objecthood.” #architecturehistory
Rowe states that modern architecture should be interpreted as a gospel and a message of good news. I find this very intriguing because I feel like modern architecture definitely has its contraries. #architecturehistory
“The idea of flowing space has been emphasized by historians, from its early evolution in the Shingle Style interiors, traced by Vincent Scully, to its flowering in the Prairie House and its culmination in De Stijl and the Barcelona Pavilion. “ - Venturi #architecturhistory
“I like complexity and contradiction in architecture - not the incoherence or arbitrariness of incornbetent architecture and not the brecious intricacies of picturesqueness.” - Venturi #architecturehistory
@ehcap23 @MaclarenRanste1 Another thing that is proven to make make people explore cities more is places for people to eat and places for people to gather such as parks, or some other form of outdoor public space
@CladyKelsey Sadly, I personally believe in today’s day and age that most decisions are made on profit. I wish it was the other way around but it’s up to us as future architects to start emphasizing environmental gain
@DylanFruchey That is definitely an interesting concept, however I believe that we could utilize the streets in outdoor design instead of neglecting them. Neglecting problems gets us no where in regards to advancement
“A reconsideration of everyday life might serve as an antidote...” - Coleman, Danze, and Henderson that’s a very wise and mature statement to make #architecturalhistory
“For the most part, these theorists view the “secondary,” the “other,” as something largely internal to architecture. They assert the binary oppositions in architecture can be undone, or dismantled from within...” - Coleman, Danes, and Henderson #architecturalhistory
