Re: Best Works of Modern Architecture Ever.
I find that quite ugly.
modern architecture is architecture from the late 19th to 20th to 21st century.
Villa Savoye in Paris by Le Corbusier

Falling water is great, no question there, but the other three just look... bland. Originally Posted by EireEmerald

The first one just looks like a beach house, the second a duplex apartment with big windows, and the third like a class building in an urban college.ttt

Re: Best Works of Modern Architecture Ever.
Do you mean modernist and post-modernist architecture?
Frank Gehry in Utah. I have to say that I'm a fan of new-urbanism, even if it is silly, it's still idealistic and childlike in it's playfullness.
The Samuel Beckett bridge by Santiago Calatrava.
The twisting torso also by Santiago Calatrava. -
Re: Best Works of Modern Architecture Ever.
I love pretty much everything by Calatrava
I cant wait to see the Chicago Spire.
He is pretty much my inspiration for pursuing architecture in college."I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday" -
Re: Best Works of Modern Architecture Ever.
Doubt we'll ever seen it finished since everyone involved in its construction seems to be broke now thanks to economic crisis and according to wiki Calatrava never got paid for it. Plus honestly I think the spire is frigging ugly in comparison to his other buildings, the bridge is just amazing and pic above actually doesnt do it justice imo. Originally Posted by lord o kelly

I've always been fond of Art Deco architecture, but I'm not sure if that is still classed as "modern."

Same. It's a nice mixture of traditional and modern styling. Originally Posted by Mr. J.B.

Re: Best Works of Modern Architecture Ever.
Guggenheim museum by frank gehry.
Anything by frank lloyd wright.
calatrava is alright. most of your examples are too ornamental.
the beauty of franky lloyd wright is reason. there was a reason for every beautification, function with beauty.
oh and check out the prada tokyo glass building. -
Re: Best Works of Modern Architecture Ever.
Frank Lloyd was a genius, and he knew it as well. I also think that Kahn was very good.
-
Re: Best Works of Modern Architecture Ever.
no one comes close to frank lloyd wright. once you've studied his works, the modern world looks less beautiful altogether.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gammage_Auditorium <-- his most futuristic. it never becomes outdated.
kahn was trying too hard to be original, like most architects of this age. there's no feeling of perfection, in the symphony of form and function. it doesnt have the, it can't be anything else but this feeling. -
Re: Best Works of Modern Architecture Ever.
I hate buildings that are built in a way to seem impractical. Like that ministry building.
