Everybody in Modernism index Everybody in Modernism. Architecture is increasingly a kind of information or, as Le Corbusier might have put it, information for living in. Architecture today is about everything but the object itself. Rather it is concerned with considerations about how it is occupied, the processes by which it is conceived and made, the way in which it is received and consumed as information.
Modernism is applied as a stylistic trope in the same manner as neo-Georgian.
Architecture as media. The dominance of the image within contemporary culture means that architecture will be read as an image, despite the most architects belief in the authentic architectural experience. The authentic experience may not be the building itself, but its representation through other media - travel brochures, action films, theory heavy architectural books. To fulfill our truly modern desire for identity - or more precisely the construction of identity. Ours and theirs.
