I dont like 'blobs'/ excessively computer generated architecture, though there are some tools from here that can be applied delicately with the simpler concepts (like those found in the works of Louis Kahn, for me)...with interesting results. We are sometimes getting too trigger happy with technology, just because we can, does not mean we should...could be moving us away from our 'spirit'. The 'fashionable' differs from the timeless, and the thing that is least in fashion is the one that just was...longevity of these buildings appeal doesn't seem too attractive. but if wielded correctly..can get interesting and useful results (e.g. FOA Japan port terminal for me) a luta continua I am currently entering architecture school and am a great fan of the modern, the power of simple concepts..as these are the most ‘universal’ and not as subjective in their aesthetic appeal.

I miss the modern movement... simplicity.
