3T Architecture. What modern architects CAN do…

"Theoretician" Le Corbusier | "Talker" Zaha | "Trader" No Name

…architecture is not the top priority on the modern architects’ list. In fact all modern architects can be divided into 3 groups (not by the size, but by the nature of what they do), and those groups could be stylishly nicknamed 3T: Theoreticians, Talkers and Traders.

Zaha

ZAHA

How many great people in the world art history are known by their first names only? Think of it. Not too many. Offhand I can recall only four. Leonardo. Raphael. Michelangelo. Zaha.

Chicago Jazz

Magnificent Chicago

Architecture is a frozen music. However music is not always pleasant to the ears. It can be loud and irritating, it can be a cacophony. …architectural music of Chicago is always wonderfully melodical. It is always “a true Mozart” so to speak, never “a fake Salieri”. It is always a magnificent Harmony.

Minimalism

Farnsworth House, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

…architecture has become a game of who designs with fewer elements. And I do not mean Miesian precept known as “less is more”… I mean this obsession to turn architecture into empty boxes.
