do you really think the general public likes them
1st. the 'general public' think phillip johnson was a great architect.

2nd. anyone who dismisses mies has NO place having an opinion of architecture. period. dislikes the aethetics of a mies building for educated reasons and is able to back up why... okay, i'd accept that... but to ignorantly and arrogantly call it crap?... find a new hobby.


Quote:
apparently appeal to a lot of architects
uhhh, well i could be wrong about this but, IIT is an archiecture and engineering school...

Quote:
most of us will take a high quality faux historic building over Mies anyday.
which is why we rarely see great archiecture in the US. and the great architecture that does come around here and again is severely dumbed down to america's general public 'taste'

Quote:
Aesthetics is art, and purely subjective.
architecture is so much more advanced than just art. there is so much more to architecture than just making buildings look 'good'
