On Tuesday when we discussed the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright it reminded me of this architecture blog that I follow on Tumblr. The new vision of buildings that are becoming more and more futuristic seems to growing larger. This particular blog shows buildings from all around the world in all different kinds of places. The form, design and the purpose of these building are ever-changing because the use and ideas of the future are in the picture. These are not only architects, but artists who see what is up and coming in our culture and break out of the box with new and future technologies. It reminds me of Urbane Urbanism from the Jencks reading where it keeps the constants such as the kitchen and the bedrooms but at the same time it adds new technologies and new ideas of our culture that always has something new it is throwing out to consumers. As this happens we see more and more things coming out then ever thought possible. For example, the Ipad, apple is always trying to sell the needs of their customers. As more things become possible with how advanced we are getting with technology, we will see our culture constantly searching for the newest ideal gadget and home, no matter how extreme and different it is from the traditional “norm” of the past. Here I will attach photos and give the link to the architecture blog that I read, because it really is amazing how many amazing structures are out there and represent Post-Modernism.
