Modernist Visions and Postmodern Reimaginings: Architectural Landscape Today In the 20th century, visionaries like Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe challenged norms, embracing functional simplicity in architectural design. Postmodernism emerged as a reaction, incorporating eclectic styles and historical references. Today, architecture stands at the crossroads of environmental sustainability, technological advancements, and the complexities of our interconnected world. Architecture remains a testament to human creativity, ingenuity, and an enduring dialogue between the past and the future. #mylinktoarchitecture #structure #modern #architecture #structures #architecturedesign #architecturelovers

Sharing some inspirational quotes from world-famous architects: "Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness." - Frank Gehry "To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history, but to articulate it." - Daniel Libeskind "Form ever follows function." - Louis Sullivan "Less is only more where more is no good." - Frank Lloyd Wright "Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light." - Le Corbusier "I don't build in order to have clients. I have clients in order to build." - Ayn Rand "Architecture is the reaching out for the truth." - Louis Kahn "Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works." - Steve Jobs "There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds." - Gilbert K. Chesterton "Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves." - Julia Morgan These quotes encapsulate the essence of architecture and the philosophy behind the work of these renowned architects. #ArchitecturalInspiration #DesignQuotes #ArchitectsOfChange #BuildYourDreams #CreativeSpaces #StructuralWisdom #UrbanElegance #InnovativeDesigns #ArchitectsVision #ShapeYourWorld

"There are six chapters which variously discuss style, composition, space, materials, structure, and use, prefaced by an introduction. The chapters contain few illustrations and are not exhaustive; this is a big topic, and the book neither tries nor needs to be comprehensive." "It could be read as a riposte to the culture wars that attempt to define and generate conflict in so much of contemporary life – including in architecture and urbanism – in being generous and inclusive in its very conception. It is also perhaps a less direct riposte to another recent treatise on architecture; if, after reading this book, you still think architecture is boring, you’re clearly not looking closely enough." #architecture #urbanism Today, in Building Design.

The idea of form following function has evolved in recent years, says Eran Chen, founder of New York-based ODA Architecture. And he explores it in the firm’s new monograph: “ODA: Office of Design and Architecture.” “Modernism has this notion that the form of buildings should follow the functions they serve,” Chen says. “That’s a post-industrial notion, with a utilitarian point of view.” But in an era of working from home – a place where we live and entertain too – the time has arrived for us to focus not just on what we do, but what we’re becoming.

Transforming spaces, preserving legacies. In the realm of architecture, it's our privilege to visualise not just the structure, but its broader impact. Tom Slater says it best: "Architects are ideally positioned to envisage the wider benefits of a proposed refurbishment, including the romance of retaining a well-loved structure."
