A post-Modernism of Dynamic forms

What is wrong what is Right? is the definition of Modernist decade. Now we are in the age of Post Modernist where we can define it as that The Truth and Decorations are blend in together, let’s say it is both a good looking and functioning architecture. After the major influence derive from Venturi School of Architecture, had been influential to Architect in Post-modernism such as Louise Khan and leading to Architect nowadays, Frank Gahry, Jean Nouvel:

Museum Abi Dhabi. Jean Nouvel

An example of hybridize of nature into architect form. Jean Nouvel often let the form of his architecture derive from the context of nature environment, wind, sunlight.

Musuem of 21century Art, 1998-2009.  Zaha Hadid.


41th edition of art Basal Exhibition, 2010.  Zaha Hadid.
Zaha has influenced of Constructivism art through her painting and form of building. Contructivism is art that turn its back to the motto of “Art for art’s Sake) but ,move with the believe in art for social. Although it’s been replaced by Socialist Realism art movement but it still shows up even arts today. The art of Zaha is dynamic and the most fluid constructivist form. Rigid line in her painting appear in architecture element. Her work often says to be a frozen of time expressionism.

“Galerie Gmurzynska presents a seminal exhibition curated and designed by Zaha Hadid, coinciding with the 41st edition of Art Basel which juxtaposing works of the Russian Avant-Garde with the work of Zaha Hadid Architects. A bright explosion of Russian Works pierces through the contemporary works of Zaha Hadid in a dynamic black and white design. The dialogue of these works constantly shifts and realigns as one moves through the space focusing on four themes: Abstraction, Distortion, Fragmentation, and Floatation.
A site specific artwork, the exhibition design is a projection of a 2-dimensional drawing into the 3-dimensional space. The gallery has become a spatial painting in which the threshold  of the picture plane has expanded and can be entered.”

Post-Modernist : Contingent way of understanding World.
The early Post-modern tried to against the previous style thus the movement has developed themselves into more personal experience, challenge the construction technology, challenge the perception and thought of human.
“DeCon structures are not required to reflect specific social or universal ideas, such as speed or universality of form, and they do not reflect a belief that form follows function.”

“... Frank try to bring life into his architecture. when the orchestra rehearse, the hall miraculously cam to life. Earlier, the orchestra’s sound wonderful as it was, had felt confined to stage. Now a new sonic dimension had been added, and eery square inch of air in Disney vibrated merrily. Toyota says that he had never experiences such an acoustical difference between a first and second rehearsal in any of the halls he designed in his native Japan...”
