| . That was a difficult website ! From the images I could see a few things concern me, not the concrete and technical or aesthetic things but the general approach to start with. I get the feeling a lot of this experimental housing is too cocoon like and has a reliance of synthetic materials which though they may conform to certain standards don't go very far in convincing me that what I'm being asked to think about living in has any value or 'home' like quality. I'll never drink out of a plastic wine bottle and I'll never live in a plywood house no matter how ... | |||||

Mies and Johnson were internationalists, which was essentially code for subordinate subjects in a government, culture and economy dominated by central bank owners and multinatinal corporations. They were essentially orthodox in their obedience and fealty to the status quo, despite the then unorthodoxy of their desi ... | |||||

| ... it will fail as a solution and become mannered. Eames worked in a dynamic production environment that was open to hybridisation of his "formulas" (or his wifes and Don Albinsons) . PK had a singular and refined formula and from what I know restricted himself to it, his choice of materials probably helped do away with many of the physical problems that Eames encountered which required struts and other complex solutions. Apologies if I sounded didactic, I just wasn't sure what you were trying to communicate. | |||||

| I would love... ...to participate, but...my proposal would be to make it more of an didactical project. The vase project, although very interesting started off as a number of comments on a proposal. Which is not the way a design project normally starts. My proposal would be to follow a design method that can certainly be flexible and innovative, but that stays close to the very basics of the design method. I know this is a somewhat risky proposal because of the differences in design methods between different design disciplines, but this being an "object" I w ... | |||||

| That's kind of funny about your Panton chair (of course it's a tragedy). I don't think I've any trouble with guests coming in and mishandling my stuff. When my 90yo Mom came by and sat down on my Aalto Zebra Tank chair, I had to mention that she had to sit back on the chair because if you sit forward, you might cause the chair to fall forward. Other than that, anyone who's come over knew that my living room furniture is vintage, even if the person didn't know diddly-squat about the era. | |||||

| . *sigh* whatever you say DC. Please do me the favour of applying your remarkable gifts to these images...then again you know diddly squat about construction and probably couldn't tell us anything about the rather robust construction of these types of chairs or the brutality of cutting involved. Look below the surface. Are those cables not beautifully delicate? Are the concrete supports not brutal and isn't the WHOLE thing remarkably cohesive? Is everything so literal and 2 dimensional for you? How unfortunate. | |||||

| ... that to a large extend have been abandoned by or have never realy interested architects. For some time now architects have been concentrating on the "general concept" and the "looks" of the building. Relatively few architects would be able to design/draw/construct in detail and with the same innovative strength the curtain walls that L.Mies van der Rohe put so skillfuly on paper. The same is of course the case with the structure, the airconditioning etc. etc. All these fields have been succesfully taken over by engineers...to be, ironically enough, done mos ... | |||||

| Pt. 4... And for the few who can think about it analytically, it is extremely difficult to avoid descending rapidly in technological didactics. By this I mean lectures on how space programming can be reduced entirely to lifeless, utterly rational maps of circulation. In a mall, we force the foot traffic to have to walk between the two anchors for necessities and then crowd high margin, non essential purchasing opps. up against both sides of them as they walk. Throw in a few hard benches, so they can survive the walk, but not stop for long. And then the next ... | |||||

| ... hierarchical class system. Koen has lived during a time when the hierarchical class system has broken down considerably. It is this democratic aspect of Koen's individual ceramic objects--each unique, yet each sharing much in common--alike AND different--that appeals to me so much. I'm a product of a 20th Century little d democracy that is itself on the wane right now as we rush head long into central bank totalitarianism and de-representative government, and imperial producer oligopolies. Hey, Van de Velde and Koen were speaking clearly and authentically t ... | |||||

| Well....i did ask for it....your opinions, professional in your mind or not... I have to laugh...to myself after reading the recent postings. The true value will only be what someone is ultimately willing to pay for an item. I have never misunderstood this simple rule and law that can be and is applied to many or all aspects of "Sales"...such as real estate, vehicles, patio furniture, jewelry and on and on. Anything that may fall within the collectible markets is no exception. All due respect....I could NOT disagree with you more completely! Again, I disagre ... | |||||
