<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 4063437, member: 5170&quot;]Yes, boring. The trouble with design since World War II is that modernism is the only thing that fits academia&#039;s narrative, so we&#039;re just subjected to one form of modernism (or postmodernism, or whatever) after another. By way of example, new library designs I&#039;ve seen are basically just re-arranging the 1950s. Variations on plate glass and flat roofs. Again. Of course, furniture design follows suit. Modernism endures decade after decade at least partially because of one underlying factor: It&#039;s cheap.</p><p><br /></p><p>Curvy, Victorian-type designs, though beloved by many in spite of their lack of hipness, will always be &quot;conservative&quot; and &quot;boojie&quot; to academia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
