New Junk
It seems that there is no problem with the
building of every ages embracing the needs of every age. Modern architecture satisfied
modernity, as it did in the eighteenth century to the industrial revolution. Both
of them bear new functions at their time, which inevitably destabilized
architects' self-consistent explanations of architecture. So why only the space
that accompanies modernization can be labeled as "junk"? Only based
on rough, cheap and his definition of "continuity", I am afraid that
the architectural concept of the 18th century’s plant or factory shocks bigger
than the conception of modern architecture. Perhaps more forward, the medieval
Gothic church is also the pursuit of vertical " Continuity ". Or is
it that the real criticism of Koolhaas is not the building space itself, but
the logic behind it?

ReplyDeleteI agree that every period in the history has its own style of architecture and its own needs. Once it past the certain period of time, the architecture might see as a new junk space.
