im not sure what point is trying to be made in this thread....im assuming it is that new buildings can be modern and progressive even if they are historic pastiche....
i somehow dont think that religious architecture in third world countries is helping to pursuade me of the validity of the hypothesis.
btw....gaudi would roll over in his grave if he knew someone was lumping in sagrada familia in with the rest of these kitsch buildings....obviously whoever posted that has never seen it in person...its ideas are completley modern and forward thinking...it is a progressive and innovative building in every way...it is a landmark in the evolution of modern architecture that helped move architectural thinking away from the nostalgia of the past and into the creative age......every inch of it was created with a unique idea.....all these others are pure decorative replication...there isnt a single unique idea in any one of them.....it is blasphemous to consider them in any way equal.
gaudi rejected everything that you are celebtrating in this thread.
