Paul, Goldberger. "ARCHITECTURE VIEW; The City That Was And the City That Is Now." New York Times 18 Aug. 1991: 30. Academic Search Complete. Web. 2 Dec. 2012.

These architects were fundamentally non-ideological -- this is the most important lesson their work holds for us now. They did not design in terms of theories or dogmas; they believed in looking to the past to assist them in evolving forms that would respond to the needs of the present. If one building was fundamentally Renaissance in style and another Georgian, no matter; they did not come to the table with the belief that any style was a moral imperative.

    New York City has been called "the greatest city in the world" numerous times by its own people and visitors to the city. New York is civilization's greatest world within a city. It gives the overpowering impression of being a magnet and mirror for all of humanity and all that humanity does. For a city so young, New York is home to number of architectural classics. Two of these masterpieces of architecture are the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim Museum. Both continue the metaphor of New York being a world within a world and possess the latent fusion of form and function, one dependent on the other. The Metropolitan Museum is the epitome of neo-Classical style while the Guggenheim is a modernist powerhouse. Each museum serves the same purpose: displaying humanity's greatest achievements. By comparing and contrasting their history, location, façade and interior, I will investigate how they arrive at this goal in contrasting styles…

    For this reason architectural meaning can never be objectified, reduced to functions, formal or stylistic formulas. “Architecture tries to create a place for people and current human needs in anticipation of tomorrow.” The interior of St. Paul’s effectively captures this idealism emphasized by the uncluttered ceiling and clear glass windows, which lighten the spaces, inspiring hope a precarious time. Contemporarily, the duty of care has evolved and the focal point has become the pursuit of earns. “Architecture must reawaken in itself the potential to communicate ideas about human identity and reestablish a relationship with cultural identity.”…

    My second elaboration paper is based on this week’s readings on architecture and modernism. My focus is on my hometown of Oak Park and the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. The Village of Oak Park is internationally known for its historic architecture, with styles including Queen Anne, Prairie School and Colonial Revival. Oak Park is known particularly as the home of Frank Lloyd Wright. Oak Park is located 8 miles west of downtown Chicago and holds the largest collection of Prairie School architecture in America, which includes 25 homes and business designs by Wright. The Village of Oak Park is often described as a “living museums” of American architecture. It hosts a large selection of modern architectural styles from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Of the buildings within the historic district over 20 of them were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Besides the structures designed by Wright there are over 60 other buildings designed by other architectures of Wright's Prairie School of architecture. The National Register of Historic Places…

    I first decided to write about Alberti, but then seeing that we were allowed to write about any architect we’ve come across in this course, I thought to myself who would be better than Le Corbusier or Frank Lloyd Wright; cliché’ , but yet they’re the fathers of the modern Architecture. Alberti’s type of Architecture wasn’t in use and he’s only looked at as history. Modern Architecture is what we live in, what we breathe, what we see, it’s in our blood as Architects; it’s what people expect from us.…
