“commemorate the 50 years of Frank Lloyd Wright’s death”

I’m sorry, but I can’t commemorate that…

Quite true indee Terry. I’ve been having my own share of problems because of not believing in this new dogma. A new techical burocratichal review of projects is growing fast, where nothing else matters besides having solar panels, grass rooftops or green walls.It gets to the point where you’re advise not use a material(ex:steel)because of it’s carbon dioxide realeases.

Here’s my two cents. Read it for my semi-long review.

My short review: It’s a decent exhibition, especially because it gathers a lot of unbuilt projects and commissions new models and renderings for the same, as well as models for a few executed buildings. It could have engaged the atrium space better, though given the fact it’s traveling to the Guggenheim Bilbao the vitrines will probably have a harder time competing with Gehry’s spaces. More than anything, it’s a celebration of Wright and not much more. The models make some of his designs as fresh today as 50+ years ago, and that says a lot compared to what’s being produced now…only time will tell how today’s architecture (built and unbuilt) ages.

You are perfectly right Mr. Phipps :) I love your comment… through a pure speculation I suspect that these posts do not represent views of an average architect, as “real” (as opposed to “virtual”) architects do not have time to waste, unless they are … almost retired… on the other hand, a link to online version of the exhibition does not work and it would be difficult to comment on the exhibition unless you are a New-Yorker… somebody from NY? anybody?

It is an incredible howdy doo when the digital dragonfly gets people talking and an exhibition on the first architect since Palladio to propose (and build) architecture that allowed for a symbiosis between man and nature gets no attention whatsoever. This is all the proof that I need that people who talk the talk about -sustainbility-green-whatever-hoo-ha do not actually walk the walk, or even think the thought.
