Modern architecture

brought a revolution into the architectural scene. Inigo Jones was inspired by his travels in Italy and especially his second visit in 1613 where he visited major cities and buildings and compared theory with practice, from then on his style of architecture took a new form. I want to explore the originality of Queen's house, how much of the design came from Inigo Jones the architect and how much came from Inigo Jones the posthumous sponsor of Palladianism, as he is often referred to.

The use of wood, which is a nature material, make it looks more ambiguous or noncommittal. In addition, it has a gabled roof rather than the flat…

I definitely think the library design fascinating and interesting; with its hyper rational process is takes rationality to an absurd level with regard to something people would not expect as being the result of rationality. I am unfamiliar with architecture as well as the difference between modernism and postmodernism, but I think it is a powerful talk on which he discussed about the role of the architects in the process, as a team approach rather than authorship.
