Jiggy 2/1

This week we moved into postmodern archetecture, an interesting and ever changing feild. We are offered many styles that convey the ideals and mindset of postmodern thinking. This was conveyed by the eleven styles outlined by Jencks in his peice. Our classroom talks cleared up these styles and provided examples to go along with them. I found that many of the styles think outside the box, radical designs that push us to think and wonder. This is much inline with many of the philosophys of our postmodern world. Authors push us to think outside the regular and everyday to expand our knowledge and worldlyness. Buildings are one way to express yourself, as writers do in essays and papers. Archetects are not often credited for provoking thought as a philosopher would do but in many cases in fact do so. I found many of the building inspiring and uplifting, all crafted to serve a certain purpose and make us think. If you take this concept and apply it to your everyday life many thinks can change. Its the approach that you can make a difference in every little thing you do. I am excited to go downtown next week and start to see the city of Orlando alittle differently. It will be hard to see a city skyline and not think about postmodern archetecture and postmodern ideas.
