what greg lynn...
... has to say nowadays:
1. computer as a MEDIUM rather than as a tool.
2. symmetry is STUPID.
4. GENERIC is not banal.
5. CLASSIC rather tham timeless.
6. all move to LOS ANGELES.
* explanations after request.
i have to say, i never liked his work. i guess lot of people would agree with me.
but i definitely believe that he has been so influential for [new generations of] architects that took his ideas, his thinking and made beautiful work.
many chicagoans had the opportunity to listen to him this wednesday in art institute.
the lecture was little bit too long and he showed so many [ugly] alessi products that i was getting tired but there was a nice feeling after it, because you had this feeling that finally he is realizing his ideas:blobs + blebs by using laser cutters, 3d printers and all the usual suspects.
the innovative greg lynn is also part of the united architects, where some years ago they did this:
1. computer as a MEDIUM rather than as a tool.
2. symmetry is STUPID.
4. GENERIC is not banal.
5. CLASSIC rather tham timeless.
6. all move to LOS ANGELES.

i would say that in the folding current of architecture greg lynn makes a great job. then we can discuss on how folding in general is beautiful or ugly.
as a thinker i find him pretty sharp and funny! i liked his lecture...fortunately or unfortunately he only 'builds' alessi's stuff! by the way, could you possibly EVER imagine Slavin house away from L.A.?
no comment on United Architects.
i am not so sure he is into folding that much. more bleby + bloby experiments he showed.
i have problem with his shapes and aesthetics...
i did like the brick project [brick wants to be plastic] although i can not find any photo in the internet, could you?
