Architectural Theroies

Today we're gonna learn all about Phillip Johnson, so you can better understand my lame, lame joke.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Johnson

Phillip johnson was a very interesting architect, while never really having anything particularly orginal, you could always count on him to load up the movements, package them and tour about. Just like a ringleader.....or costco.

-note the pocket protector-

when i was in prague, i made (I mean physically, like with a stick) chris come to the Mucha museum with me, if you dont know Mucha, you dont know much...ha...ha. not funny.
So on the way back i was listening to Harry Potter and the Half blood Prince and the four sort-of main young girl characters reminded me of some of the posters i had seen in the museum.

I think the names of the Mucha paintings are

Iris, Rose, Lily and Carnation

which here translate into

Pansy, Hermione, Luna and Ginny

i'm a huge dork on many many many levels

complexity and contradiction in architecture is awesome...i really like robert venturi however he dosent really describe his love/hate relationship with modernism very well which makes my brain explode....
