Heygate Estate

Thom Will — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 14:29:00 +0000

There is a brilliant article on the Heygate Estate and the demise of modernist social housing projects in today’s Guardian (view here).

I am a big fan of architectural modernism. Although I worry about the consequences of the very middle class fascination with failed social housing projects and the patronising rhetoric of many commentators as to the reasons for their decline in popularity. I hate hearing people bang on about them as if we can’t trust poor people to live together in a civilised manner. Or worse that it is a symptom of cursed design.

I AM ELECTRIC

‎’I am electric. I’m a computer. Don’t attempt to keep no secrets from me. If you make me bored, I hit my keyboard. You’ll be erased from my memory. AC/DC it’s OK by me.”

Form ever follows fuction

A short but beautifully articulated quote from Louis H. Sullivan. Sullivan coined the term “form [ever] follows function” in his article ‘The Tall Office Building Artistically Considered’:

“Whether it be the sweeping eagle in his flight or the open apple blossom the toiling work horse, the blithe swan, the branching oak, the winding stream at its base, the drifting clouds, over all the coursing sun, form ever follows function, and this is the law. Where function does not change form does not change. The granite rocks, the ever brooding hills, remain for ages; the lightning lives, comes into shape, and dies in a twinkling.”

Feeling festive?
