Rules for Modern Design

lol, and then it needs a decorator to come along and finish it off and give it character and warmth. And a place for people to sit.

Methinks certain people are taking this too literally… lol. When you add this stuff in, you have Post-Modernism = BLECH! You can always stand, and white walls make a great backdrop for Modern art (I’m thinking Pollock). However, if you insist on furnishing your Modern space, black leather, stainless steel, and bent, blonde-colored birch plywood are acceptable. Who needs anything else?

Me too. You can have a barcelona chair or 2, and maybe paint the entry door “charcoal”

No zombies

Frankly, if I see another glass, funky angled box on the cover of Architectural Digest (which they keep sending me even though I have stated I don’t want the magazine), I’m going to poke my eye out with a protractor. I’m ready for the next style beyond modern. Yes, modern will not be the last architectural style in our history. When will we move beyond it? It has not all been done before (like a former unimaginative teacher of mine once told our class). Add the gnomes back in! The next architectural style?Gnomitechture! More humor in architecture is greatly appreciated. Thanks Jody.

so funny!

No privacy is a rule I refuse to follow.

S’true. John Pardey’s client for the heavenly Watson House on JP’s cringing at thought of hanging artwork: “Smears, daubs, pustules..” or words to that effect
