The news that the new field house was Rowan Atkinson of the Planning Committee recommended Oxfordshire, despite the refusal by officials of the Planning Board approved threatens to trigger the debate again, a little tired Classic modern face in the British countryside. But this is completely wrong debate. Slide the two old war horses in the fields of Middle England is just another activity that the attention of a recent debate with pressures of Western culture in general that, if the horses could be made available to war might have in the stables for a time be taken.
Atkinson planning consultants Terence O'Rourke as a description of the new proposals as "a piece of 21 high-century architecture reported. I'm not sure that this is a very useful description or detailed proposals. It is true that the house architect for Atkinson to make Richard Meier, the United States on this his first building in Britain, is a respected architect still practiced in the 21st century, but the ideas generated work is firmly rooted in the beginning of the last century. The house could also be an a piece of architecture of the 20th century, or be described as a piece of old modernism.
Old-Modern
Meier's ideas are still in the year 2010 were used for 1920 and 30, when Le Corbusier and other pioneers of the modern movement has an architecture that is the spirit of a generation of First World War brought a new set. This generation naively thought I could clean the course of history and build a new world. Corb controversial articulation of the architecture describes in his famous "five points of a new architecture", has initially set up as a series of articles in the journal he entitled "L'Esprit Nouveau." These five points established dichotomies powerful polemic, deliberately contemptuous of the old order, was the new architecture by foot gracefully over the floor to "pious" thin (columns) instead of wet basement and an infestation of rats to establish the structure of the column, "free plan and set the borders of the supporting structures of the heavy load, with its angles, lifting produce building groundon batteries "free country" in the city to replace the crowded streets. The structural framework, in addition to free plan to create the "lift off" and horizontal bands of windows characteristic of the time. Finally, it argues that the ceiling was dark Corb wasted space with traditional pitched roofs, connected by a fifth of the "roof garden" five points of Le Corbusier could be replaced. The other important feature of this architecture is not curious mentioned as one of the five points is that it "knows". The white of this architecture allows the importance of building refuse areas. The surfaces are defined as abstractions perfect skin as a conceptual experiment, the potentially infinite space. rectification requirements of a real material would Search for a pure affirmation of absolute space and that these materials were expected to undermine the repressed aspects combine the reality of architecture.
Of course, aspects of the reality of this architecture were not left sentenced five of Le Corbusier. In fact, after the Second World War, the architecture of Le Corbusier, a radical change of direction. At the time I was in the design Masioni Paris Jaoul the 1950 five points were dropped. The driver was gone, so that buildings are laid on the floor houses see also the supporting structure, the impact of the "vacant" and "free exercise" and were denied the same access to the vaults roof garden borders. "And the" white concrete floor, a new extreme form of architectural materials, "the materiality of the buildings have disappeared to be replaced by refusal" seems to be called to balance the previous rejection by the psyche of Le Corbusier.
Old-Young:
Although we see that Le Corbusier in a position that was extremely controversial given at the beginning of modernity, the seeds of the architectural language that has been sown and were helped to establish then adopted uncritically by a new generation. Richard Meier has set the framework for this new generation. Emerged as one of a group of young architects in New York in the 1960s, international attention in 1967 came to an exhibition of his works in the Museum of Modern Art, Arthur Drexler organized and published more later in a book with the work of New York Five, Peter Eisenman, Michael Graves, Charles Gwathmey, John Hejduk and Richard Meier. At the time of this group, a common language of the modern movement as simplistic at first, but although some more later moving into new territory, Meier has held the line. "If I did not Le Corbusier, Richard Meier can," I seem to remember what was in the early days of his career said, and in a recent letter to the Ministry of Planning is now clear, Oxfordshire claim territory as its own " White is one of the characteristics of my work ....".
robbed at seventy or eighty years, the language, modern architecture first appeared on the European continent. In a way, has since been assimilated to contemporary culture. In the commercial world, the tower of glass and steel is now in the manner prescribed for the post in our cities, but with some notable exceptions on the home front of his authority is less clear. Home was in the modern world largely on the style fitted kitchen or bathroom that are rare on Main Street allows limited. The question is why the assimilation of modernism was biased and why this architecture reductive strong reactions on the occasion, the head of planning in its recommendation that planning permission for the house brand of Rowan Atkinson a waste container odious regime "space station was" inarticulate feelings are as strong Criticism of the British planning system. but we can forgive his children explosions probably means as the Prince of Wales "," Rubi "and commented:" Police Academy, an anger at something they do not put in a position to put into words exactly. Let me see if I can help.
