	title of this thread your message It was very interesting that no one in recent thread was willing to grapple with the issue of revising the form language of modernist design so that it provides the visual excitement that even the lowliest designers of crap can achieve and excite persons with. It never would have occurred to me that enormously imaginative designers would refuse even to talk about enlivening the current neomodern trend in design, as it drifts helplessly from the recent abysmal heavy modern into engineered modern. It seems that as long as neomodernist design refuses to replough the earth Charles Eames broke half a century before ; that is, so long as it refuses to put the delight and fun back in neomodernist design; that is, so long as it continues to surrender the realm of fun and excitement to cynical postmodernists, that neomodernist design is apt to be an even shorter cul de sac than post modern was. Post modern showed a path to returning bling to design with its philosophically and psychologically disconnected ornamentation. But it still seems that just because post modernism failed to breath life back into modernist form language that modernist form language does not, in deed, need new life blown back into it. FLW showed a path to retain ornamentatal bling in his arts-and-crafts cum modernist form language and idioms of ornamental bling. Good lord, his preColumbian stuff is saturated with ornamental bling. And Louis Sullivan foreshadowed the need for it in his ornamented funtionalism. How then will the bling be returned, or are we doomed to a long, deep detour into bling-less engineering? associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
