il conformista
_i had an interesting discussion in the weekend about architecture and comformism,
about architects embracing trends and people being amazed by old ideas rather than new and so on...
some after thoughts relating to the "conformist architect" term brought in the talk:
_not referring to those who can [first] create the trend, not even those who re-create it but those that can not see beyond the "fashion"
_bertolucci's movie [il conformista]:
visually is absolutely beautiful [vittorio storaro]
its non linear!
now i am looking into the relationship of young american architecture and fascism mentioned by a student to the director in the past![referring to the white walls?]
_i found this in google by accident[!!!] today:
non-conformist chair by eileen grey[1926]
images found here, here, here and there
