Show TRANSFORM ARCHITECTURE Nick Lorenzo, Gary Acton, Eddie Zaugg (Al Smith) (Libby Haslam) (Julio Bermudez) College of Architecture and Planning, University of Utah It is time that we-the human race-put our feet down. Are we no different than chimps and rats caged up in laboratories. Just as the chimps and rats, we humans are also caged. We are caged in boxes in which we live out our lives until we die. Boxes sold to us as architecture. But to compare a box to a piece of architecture is to compare Kinkade to Picasso , it is a crime, and thus should be prosecuted as one. There is no natural element in a ninety degree angle. Go ahead and try to find one in the natural world, the search will be futile. Yet everyday new "white boxes" will scar this green earth. The time of the modernist, minimalist, and functionalist is over. A once novel idea has become played out and played over and over again. How many times can so called architects copy the same God forsaken geometrical form. It doesn't take creativity or skill, let alone art, to create a box. So we say tear down your boxes and in there place erect a symbol of twenty first century hu-man ingenuity. Will the real Architects please stand up, you are needed more than ever.
