POLL (September, 2010): Would you be a famous …….. ?
“What is important in life is life, and not the result of life.” (Goethe)
Ground Zero Mosque: nothing political – strictly Architecture.
I was just hoping to see an architectural story of the project, the story which is sadly disregarded through the noisy bedlam of political debate…
WalMarchitecture
…God does not forsake his children easily – that’s why any shrine is always a real architecture. And any idolatry is not. It’s a WalMarchitecture.
The ugliest in UK or so much for “green” design.
Everyone said, loud enough for the others to hear: “Look at the Emperor’s new clothes. They’re beautiful!”… nobody was willing to admit his own stupidity and incompetence. A child, however, who had no important job and could only see things as his eyes showed them to him, went up to the carriage. “The Emperor is naked,” he said.
Poll – Title “ARCHITECT” could (should) be used by:
Architectural poll: who deserves to carry the title “Architect”.
“The Architect” by dEUS. So Rock-n-Roll is alive?
dEUS. I’ve reason to believe that what I find / Is gonna change the face of humankind / And all these years before, well I was blind / That’s my conclusion / ‘Cause I’m the architect…
Video – James H. Kunstler dissects suburbia
The immersive ugliness of our everyday environments in America is entropy made visible. We can’t overestimate the amount of despair that we are generating with places like this.
Poll – What is Architecture nowadays?
Are you sure you know WHAT is Architecture nowadays?
Architecture and Rock-n-Roll are dead.
Funny, but the best rock ballade of all times sounds very… architecturally, it’s called “Stairway to Heaven”. I think Frank Lloyd Wright would love Led Zeppelin, after all in the Guggenheim Museum he introduced pretty cool solution for such stairway…
Inception of Architecture
The main definition of this dreamy reality is Maze. Labyrinth. That’s the only architectural program Ariadne (remember the Greek mythology, right?) is given by her client. So how do you design a mystic infinite space linked to the relativity of time in that new dimension?
Sketch and the City
Sensual impressions of the architect: Paris, Moscow, Toronto. …If I were a woman I would like to conceive my child in Paris. …If I were a woman I would like to meet my lover in Moscow. …If I were a woman I would like to have my wedding dance in Toronto.
Chicago
… Al Capone virtually owned Chicago. He was notorious for enmeshing the Windy City in everything from bootlegged booze and prostitution to murder. Capone had a lawyer nicknamed “Easy Eddie”… Eddie lived the high life of the Chicago mob and gave little consideration to the atrocity that went on around him.
Lord Foster: accountant or architect?
People still associate word “Architect” with something sacral, elevated above the primitive world issues, above the business greed. People, but not “Lord Foster”.
Why modern architects are so untalented.
Let’s cut the bullshit, modern architects are not creative souls or passionate intellectuals looking for golden ratio or universal harmony in School of Athens debate. Mostly they are a bunch of low-level manufacturers, which are very far from any creative impulses not to mention a Divine intervention…
Why modern architecture is so hideous.
Modern architecture sucks. You know why? Because architects suck. Simple as that. They suck in their central role – role of being Gods presenting world with the original creations.
Hello ugly beautiful world!
We call ugly buildings – sufficient structures, ugly views and incompetence – freedom of religion and self-expression, ugly economics – free enterprise… We are full of crap, excuse my French! Our world is full of ugliness based on lies. And the amount of ugliness becomes critical…
