The Discipline
of Nature: Architect Alfred Browning Parker in Florida
Visionary Metropolis: Tony
Garnier's Une
Cité
Industrielle
Parker had a leading role in the Green Architecture movement,
which is when architects keep the environment in mind. He became well known for
his Florida architecture. I was blown away by his models and designs and didn’t
expect to see so much work in the exhibit. For the last few years I’ve had an appreciation
for architecture and interior design because of games like Minecraft and Sims
4. With the models, not only were the
designs great but the amount of care and detail that were put into crafting
them is amazing. All of his work, from the plans to the furniture to the
models, had such craftsmanship.
Garnier, similar to Parker, made his designs with the environment
in mind. I feel with his work that there’s
not only design and environment in mind but also community. The amount of
thought that goes into the plans is really impressive and gives me a sense of
storytelling or world building. For me, what was cool to see is how both of their
work give me such a different feel while the concept and the field of work are
very similar.
