Amazing, I have learned so much from Patrik Schumacher and his writings. Hopefully there will be a time in the future when I will be able to collaborate with him.

that definition was written in 1850!....nothing new; why doesn't he say where he took it from? that is just a light version from the original

[@lesimmateriaux1375]

only a person with no understanding of art could ever think that forms without purpose constitute 'art'

I really feel that the work of Patrik Schumacher and Zaha Hadid transcends the art world in many cases. Art has lost its visual skill, its appeal, its power to bring emotions other than disgust and to a large extent it's relevance- look on a computer screen at art that claims to be contemporary but is produced with crude technology and appears as a rotting corpse useful only to shock. I guess I might label myself a mild neo-futurist in that I would welcome the fall of the Tate... That being said I feel there are still a few brilliant artists you just have to peel back the weeds to see them.
