@JackLeibham Is fitting in not the same as relating?

@DylanFruchey Because of the variety and differing opinions on Modernism, it'd be hard to pick just an individual.

@DillonRedding3 I think Las Vegas is such a vibrant and architecturally different place, I bet it'd be impossible to "tame."

@Duncan36040548 People think differently and have different opinions on what is great, thus variety.

@DylanFruchey I don't think you could say that a building is strictly one style. I believe that this is because, no pun intended, architecture has been building upon itself for inspiration, and will continue to do so.

@alanakunkler I think that the backside is not as important as the front, being as the front is what attracts people to enter, but I think that the backside should have some thought put into it and not left blank.

Just as architects were modeling their emergent growths on a computer scientists were modeling some of our crucial organs, the heart and brain. (Story of Post Modernism) #architecturalhistory

He alludes to August Heckscher's notion of how one grows in maturity from a simple view of life to an ironic and complex one. (Story of Post Modernism) #architecturalhistory

The moral failure of Modernism had evolved from complicity with totalitarian regimes into complicity with reigning power structures. (Story of Post Modernism) #architecturalhistory

Moreover, as an unfinished movement of five decades, Post-Modernism is still contentious , and critics disagree over its meaning. (Story of Post Modernism) #architecturalhistory

What is a typical Post Modern building? One that is hybrid, one that dramatizes the mixture of opposing periods-the past, present, and future-to create a miniature 'time-city'. (Story of Post Modernism)#architecturalhistory

@Charlie21722222 Is this something you can plan? or is it something that should occur naturally?

[James Blankenberger @jdblankenber]

@capbrw6 He was probably hungry when writing this paper.

[James Blankenberger @jdblankenber]

@MiniLaird Could it be reasonably compared to how architecture has changed from being large spaces focused more on details, to focusing on the users of spaces?

[James Blankenberger @jdblankenber]

@DylanFruchey It was certainly an interesting comparison, but it made total sense.

[James Blankenberger @jdblankenber]

@HunterW27196455 For it to occur, it would need to happen naturally and not planned, otherwise it would not be a natural or unplanned occurrence.

@georgiacarch329 I wouldn't say that they are directly a result of Ford specifically, but he probably played a large role.

Landscape Urbanists want to continue the search for a new basis of a performative urbanism that emerges from the bottom up, geared to the technological and ecological realities of the postindustrial world. (The Emergence of "Landscape Urbanism"-Shane) #architecturalhistory

Commercial interests like Disney clearly understand how to stage an event and create an urban street spectacle based in a village like setting. (The Emergence of "Landscape Urbanism"-Grahme Shane) #architecturalhistory

[James Blankenberger @jdblankenber]

All of Landscape Urbanism's triumphs so far have been in such marginal and "unbuilt" locations. (The Emergence of "Landscape Urbansim"-Grahme Shane) #architecturalhistory
