The End of the Decade
With this post we finish up the first decade of the 21st century.
A decade of turbulence has passed; new wars have begun, some claim the world’s environment lays on the brink of destruction (or is it just another roust for more taxes? Not being wasteful and reducing consumer excess may be a better idea, not changing those excesses). New technologies such as BIM process are changing the nature of the building industry. There are too many to name. It really is the 21st century as some have speculated (except for the flying cars).
To finish off, I provide a link and reference to an online book, “Programs and manifestoes on 20th-century architecture” by Ulrich Conrads, click here to view. Which contemporary manifestoes and architects will still be memorable in ninety years?
