| | For a summer during junior high I was really obsessed with design. I'm not sure what triggered it. Perhaps it was a visit to a train museum or an Indiana Jones film. I started reading a lot of design books, and got really into Modernists like Mies van der Rohe, Bauhaus and Le Corbusier. Also, Frank Lloyd Wright, though I realized that he considered himself quite apart from the Europeans. Form was supposed to follow function, but as I dug deeper into the literature, I discovered that a lot of the homes and buildings were poorly weatherized and uncomfortable. I still appreciate the clean lines and simplicity. I don't spend a lot of time with design these days. A few weeks ago I ran across some blogs about Mid Century Modern design-- apparently it is popular again.
I've found this blog recently, and I really like it: Mid Century Modernist |
