Modern atchitecture is the expression of an artist pushing the limit of building as an art. If, like me, you are not educated to it this can be difficult to enjoy.
Take the someone not specially versed into art to the museum, it's likely they will enjoy and value more Vermeer than let's say Pollock.
Should we design buildings, that people use and see everyday, only for an elite to appreciate it ? I don't have the answer.
- tikwidd 6y agoI think it should depend on the context. One of the problems seems to be that there is no public space for 'monuments' in the modern world, so we get user-hostile bourgeois 'form over function' in buildings where people actually need to live and work etc. I would rather a division between 'temples' of aesthetic value, where the architects can play aesthetic games, and 'secular' spaces of more utilitarian value.
