the encana thread got me thinking...
so, I am curious what are people's thoughts on modern architecture? Its one thing to want to have great institutional/civic projects that are modern, but how about living in a modernist design?
Is it something you would actively seek? or pay more for? Towers, as a result of the construction methods are generally modern, but for smaller projects, the modernist style is the exception (like Olive) rather than the norm...
I am curious, as I know someone who is trying to develop something very modern (for Calgary), and am wondering whether this is something that will fly, or bomb...
btw, check out the new Olympic Stadium in Beijing from Herzog&deMeuron....40000 tonnes of steel!
