The gist of the very schism itself lies in the need of humans to define the realities of building that reflects the human need to control. But this melodrama was both pantomime and cliché. The Trump administration was voted out of office, Shubow and his majority of Classicist members of the Commission refused to resign and were dismissed. If we can find it, it can offer an alternative to trying to relive the past.”
Something wholly new and much better is possible. Library For Automation Studio Freeware Microsoft Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio 2010 SP1 v.9.370 The Microsoft Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio package is an add-on for Visual Studio 2010 to provide tooling for Microsoft Silverlight 5 Beta and Microsoft WCF RIA Services V1.0 SP2 Preview (April 2011). We should not accept the false choice between cold, discordant minimalism and Trumpian fakery. Architecture may be leaving a century of top-down systemic organization, but that has nothing to do with “style.” Nathan Robinson in Current Affairs sees the folly of the pretense of posturing “It’s perfectly understandable to me that the right has given words like nostalgia, history, culture, and tradition a bad name… But it is a mistake to reject the cultural inheritance of humankind on the theory that nostalgia is for Nazis. This tiny comic opera of bellicose projections turned out to be completely tone deaf. Save this picture! Northwestern National Life Insurance Buliding by Minoru Yamasaki and Associates, 1964. When Trump lost the presidency, Shubow was elected chairman of the Commission in January of 2021. The Society’s mission is “…advancing the classical tradition in architecture…” Shubow stated that "contemporary architecture is by and large a failure, ugly, strange, and off-putting, that has created a built environment that is degraded…”. In 2018 the Trump Administration had nominated Justin Shubow, the President of the National Civic Art Society to the U.S.
In that brief moment the matter and anti-matter of style in architecture touched and exploded. I think this shift had a unique 2021 moment in American design history, when the cultural fixation on the outcome of style was revealed to be absurd. Architecture will change as a result, and may evolve in public perception to value motivations as a criteria for understanding it, versus valuing outcomes as the validation of any particular aesthetic. 2021 was one such year, with COVID-19 as the first existential threat to our culture since World War II.
Some years end up being cultural pivot points.
