vielleicht ist diese obsession mit architekten vergangener zeiten einfach deshalb, weil es sich um menschen mit meist sehr gutem geschmack und zusätzlich einem mondänen lebensstil, den ich ja nur noch aus sicherer entfernung kenne. so zum beispiel heißt es in der beschreibung des ehepaar eames zu ihrem hausvorschlag (1945):

"in this house activities will be of a more general nature to be shared with more people and more things. it will also be used as a returning place for relaxation and recreation through reading and music and work - a place of reviving and refilling, a place to be alone for preparation of work, and with matters and concerns of personal choosing. a place for the kind of relaxed privacy necessary for the development and preparation of ideas to be continued in professional work centers. The occupant will need space used elastically where many or few people can be accomodated within the areas appropriate to such needs. intimate conversation, groups in discussion, the use of a projection machine for amusement and education, and facilities for self-indulgent hobbies, i.e., cooking and the entertainment of very close friends."

dazu zwei gedanken:

1) damn, I wanna live like them, und
2) how do you mean, the entertainment of very close friends?

" the use of a projection machine for amusement and education"
hahaha, das zieht sich durch die generationen...
