what is considered wrong or even fascist in the netherlands, according to 'educated' architects and architecture students, is the hot stuff in the states. yes, i'm talking about 'new tradition', 'regional historialism' or 'modern traditionalism'. in the netherlands, it looks like this.
people love it. we dutch tried to counter the 'debilization' of home owners by filling up subdivision like ypenburg by over-designed homes, that make all the magazines but apparently still don't really work.
and in the states, they build it like this.
is it still our job to decide what's hot or not? or should we really be servants to the people's wishes?
