Questioning contemporary architecture ... Philharmonic

Architecture, art nature.

Architecture, implementation of various mills to provide space man, were social, recreation, living, urban, etc.


"Let today what we wanted to do ...-, Architect Philip Johnson USA


This is the thought with which it has developed much of contemporary architecture. This is justified from the point of economic and aesthetic, forgetting the values \u200b\u200bthat make a unique architectural and transcendental.


For many architects who have broken patterns, everything is possible. Many a times at the expense of the urban context, thereby canceling the dialogue with the surroundings. The design rather than to be lived is designed to be seen and to create personal milestones. So now the look is the true substance of architecture, which makes it a unique object and a product to be displayed within the great "show" in which they have transformed the world's largest cities.


is not the opinion of the writer to attack the future projection of these works Architects Architectural and so admired, but rather to question and reflect on the purpose of the architect and his influence in society. It is true that the approach of a new architecture in fact should not be limits, but ... Where has been the man?


The questioning involved in the true purpose of contemporary architecture for which is not necessarily being a "space" habitable for humans, less encouraging social. The architecture has become an important advertising channel for companies around the world. The architecture of large corporations. Malls, airports, theme parks, etc. These spaces are what Josep Maria Montaner referred to as non-places, in which the user moves as quickly as possible and in the vacuum of the traditional square as a place of communication is replaced by full of objects of consumption competitive space and anonymity.


In general, these spaces break with the traditional concept of place, based on almost every culture in the relationship between culture, place and the notion of permanence and unity. In this case, architecture becomes a spectacle. When the architecture is designed looking for a social media impact than you can without doubt be accompanied by very dangerous effects.


is important to consider that the commitment of architects should not only limited to formal problem solving, or the satisfaction of "taste" of a small group, but also to address the real needs of people. In this way the architecture is successfully relate to both the physical environment and society for which it is built.
To achieve this, it may be necessary to reconsider the proposals of modern architecture and resume the ethical values \u200b\u200bthat sustain it.


"Architecture is a matter of harmony, a pure creation of the spirit. Using stone, wood, concrete, built houses, palaces, that's construction: the engineer working, but in an instant, touched my heart, I do well, I feel happy and say: this is beautiful, this is architecture, the art comes into me. " Le Corbusier
