Sunday Morning Modern

Why Modernism Came Back | I’ll keep my part short and sweet this morning having read through this reflective article on Modernism. I thought there were some interesting points that showcase its place in our built environment both from the past and for today. 

“Not all of the original credos of Modernism have stuck around, but Modernism still retains an outsized currency in the design world. For this story I asked 10 architects across the country to weigh in on its legacy. Some felt threatened by what they saw as Modernism’s continuing and outdated influence. Others simply rejected it. Still others determined that by embracing it, their own work was more disciplined and forward-thinking.”
