"All art and design is modern at the time it is made" - Cennino Cennini
" Tradition by definition, is the inherited and complex evolution of things cultural, social, conventional, and institutional. The question regarding it is: which traditions live and change, and which do not."
"Let us use our intelligence, together, to define our use and understanding of the word tradition, and once again, to proceed using it proudly." -Duncan McCallum McRoberts
It would be wise to start using classic styles again, we need to get over our post-WWII fear of classic and ornate things.
"Have you ever looked at a bizarre building design and wondered, "What were the architects thinking?" Have you looked at a supposedly "ecological" industrial-looking building, and questioned how it could be truly ecological? Or have you simply felt frustrated by a building that made you uncomfortable, or felt anger when a beautiful old building was razed and replaced with a contemporary eyesore? You might be forgiven for thinking "these architects must be blind!" New research shows that in a real sense, you might actually be right." - Quinlan Terry
I believe in an urban setting that has a mix of classical and vernacular. This is not the renaissance of 'just classical', this is the renaissance of tradition. Let towns grow through tradition; a classical public library, a vernacular public house, a public park...
Poundbury is a village built by prince Charles and its perfect
Actually, Ben Penreath and Adam Architecture are building a Leon Krier mesterplan. There are other examples in Newquay and Northampton too.

good modern architecture? like what?
The only good modern architecture is architecture that slightly modernizes old styles.
I agree in many ways...but there is some good ' modern ' architecture not based on classical stuff..The worst is the demolishing of our heritage..we are awful for that in Ireland.
Where is the construction taking place that is featured in this video?
That's a really nice try!!! But still its modernist view is quite obvious. It is closer to the empire architecture in Napoleo years. Certainly billion times better than this modern industrial crap. IMO architecture and aesthitics in general is really related to the culture and beliefs of a people, if you look at the houses, the temples and statues in antiquity they do not seem to ''interfere'' nature, instead they seem to fulfill it and fit awesomely like it's part of it. That's because our ancestors as ''pagans'' considered the divine(beautiful) part of nature and tried to reach ''the creator's mind''(that's why all art is actually always related to mythology and religion). Even in Medieval age Christians(although anti-pagan) still could comprehend the beauty of nature in Feudal times since there were no industries or awnings to close themselves in, that's why in the end in Renaissance christian and classical antiquity art fitted greatly making artistical miracles!!! Modern man thinking mechanistically, in a very selfish way and being related with nature only through T.V, can hardly see the beauty as our ancestors did. Only few modern artists understand but unfortunately they are not promoted. The industrial revolution killed art and beauty in humanity!!!
Modernism - open spaces and pure lines, less decoration. It's ok, mix traditional with modernism and nice buildings will come out. I am tired of this glass buildings without identity
No.
Visit Birmingham UK..then visit Prague.
