I hate modern buildings. They should all be destroyed. My city is undergoing a mass building frenzy. Characterless, sterile, Barratt-home style office blocks are popping up everywhere. Ceri & Jedi Chris should back me on this one. Fuck the Millenium (Stadium) |
||||||||
|

|
I would love to have the oportunity of changing your mind by having a nice talk with you...but as that is impossible... I will tell you that every style has good and bad things... |
||||||||

Nacmat, I'm not saying ALL, just most. I don't know what its like in Espana but here its getting really ugly. When I went to Spain there were loads of beautiful buildings. I went to a medeival town called Gerona which was soooo beautiful |
||||||||
|

|
|
I am glad you liked it here in spain... most of architecture is always crap... now and then...its only that now we only see the good buildings from the past that survived through the years... but there was lots of crap then too. in 500 years they will only see the great buildings of this century...that as always have happened they are a minority |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I see your point. I just wish more of the beautiful buildings survived and took up more of our space. |

bit ignorant about the whole historical aspect of the visual arts .. and architechture.. despite the fact that i almost did it at uni ! loved it at school .. oh well "ignorance is bliss" they say - hehe |
||||||||
|

|
|
giacometti (spell?) is a great choice... I am so thin I look like a giacometti´s sculpture |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah .. i fucking love giacometti .. !! .. his paintings aint too bad either :) the greek and egyptian thing was a bit of a cop out tho .. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pyramids are such a mistery and they are so perfect...so tense... dont know how to describe them in english...they look like they can stay there till the end of time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually - i'll take the pyramid thing back .. because i actually quite like the idea of those granite shafts with such wicked craftsman ship .. and all the "debatable" astrological significance behind it all .. a la Graham hancock the greek stuff tho - i don't know .. i guess i could always say a sculpture of dionysus or so for kicks. ?? what was the one where he was born out of his mothers? leg ! .. i'll put that down. re architechture i love it - but haven't a clue re: the people behind the building so to speak |

have any of you ever gone to the opera? have you ever listened to a Wagner opera such as Tanhausser?? try its a great experience |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have been to the Opera to see de fladermous*. I enjoyed it but not as much as I do dance, I like Contempory dance. Check out DV8's short film Strange Fish it is increadable. The Bench scene is out of this world. *poor spelling sorry |

Flea, I noticed you like Rodin too. Have you seen his house in Paris? If not and you're ever in France it's well worth the trip. I love his sculpture it has far more "soul" and warmth than the roman sculptures. The ones of lovers done out of one piece of rock are brilliant. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
romans didnt do but copy from the greek sculpture. IMO rodin is great chillida? oteiza? |

I have to side with Jonesy here Nac, the architecture of new out of town shopping centres (Jedi Chris esp. culverhouse cross) is dreadful. New architecture isn't so bad if it's done with a decent budget but so many are just awful breeze block monstrocities. I've only been to Menorca in Spain, but I liked the old fashioned architecture of the police station in Cuitadella. |

you think NY is not beautiful? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The problem isn't in the archetecture it is the lack of crafts men/women that are being trained. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont understand what you mean...craft? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Crafts people trditionally are carpenters, masons ect. Disiplins that are seen as not useful in todays society with mass production and mecanised manufacturing. |
||||||||
|

Nac: I've never been to NY, but my friend (the one starting architecture) said it had some good buildings. As I said, some modern stuff with a lot of budget is good (NY & London), but most "cheap" buildings look shoddy. 010101: I definately think that they should bring back craft apprenticeships rather than these monkey degrees that universities do nowadays. Jonesy: Forgive me... I helped design part of the millenium stadium - but it wasn't used as they were already way over budget. The bastards. I'm mates with the people who made the roof mechanism though (it broke down recently ha ha). |

Very few things that are cheaply constructed look good. |
