Actually, I'll agree with you there about idea that people were sapetickl regarding new building technologies there were plenty of projects that were likely (or unlikely) designs simply meant to express new media, materials, and concepts.I've actually felt for a while that looking at several architects renderings - people like Lynn, Hadid, etc.- It alsmost seems like many of them would love it if instead of building the thing in real life, they could just give everyone in the world virtual reality goggles and their clients and public can just live in their trasnparent, material-less formal works. The purity of their concepts and designs seem to not translate well into the real world .Maybe that's just how I see it, but I think the Cincinnati CAC is a prime example of this. Competitions are won on these beautiful renderings of buildings made of stacked and melting ice cubes- translucent shapes that are visually evocative and edgy or new . Then in reality, it becomes opaque, some material has to be chosen, and the design seems a little sullied.So, digital formal expression is great, but I feel that it's masquerading as architecture at times when it could just be (and is) digital exploration.I feel like many of the revered historical expressors of thoeretical ideals seemed to have SOME grasp of the concept that their concepts were buildings. I feel like some of them today do as well. I appreciate that a bit more, but that's me.I feel like I could come up with 100 of those forms in a week. Throw a little archibull behind them and shazam, art . Hmm maybe trying to build them in real life is the proof that they are buildable. I don't know.
