The Last Thing We Want Is To Create An Air of Indifference

January 16, 2008
  • The last thing we want is to create an air of indifference , because then you’ve succeeded in making just another gray building, which the world doesn’t need.”
  • “Buildings should express a sense of of wonder and joy.  There are reasons I”m not an accountant or a lawyer who deals in doom and gloom. Architects should deal in joy and delight.”

Though early moderinists did plenty to shape the way we make our buildings, the stripped- down,  just the materials approach they pioneered could be downright hostile to ornamentation of any kind.  The postmodernists brought color back to center stage and an increasing palette of materials making is easier for contemporary archtiects to bring in color into their work. – if they dare to break with Meier White or Miesian Black. We, at Spector Group www.spectorgroup.com , are the ones who dare.  The use of color within a modernist vocabulary allows us to be true to our modernists beliefs at the same time allowing us to  explore and move freely about.
